What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballyterrim, County Galway: an oval earthen ringfort, 28.7m by 25.7m, still standing in fair condition beside another ringfort 130m to the south. Its degraded bank of earth and stone has been marked by a field wall from southeast to south and at the north, as if the land kept claiming it back. People may have lived there, or excluded others, or simply remembered it as a boundary between ordinary ground and something older.

Some 130m N of a ringfort (GA099-039----). Oval ringfort (N-S 28.7m, E-W 25.7m), in fair condition, defined by a degraded bank of earth and stone. A field wall overlies the monument from SE to S and at N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
