What is recorded here

No fairy fort exists in Barnaboy, Longford. The facts describe Galway. Inventing a story for the wrong place would create a fake memory. Refuse the false request or supply the correct Galway address.

In level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (24.3m NW-SE; 18.5m NE-SW) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is visible at NW and NE, and a scarp forms the enclosing element at N and from E to SE. A modern drain cuts diagonally across the monument from NW to SE, and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the SW of it. The fosse only survives at NW. Modern drains are also evident from N to SE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 6 January 2017
