What is recorded here

Quarrying bit through the north and east banks, proving the fort is not a static monument but a living boundary between human memory and earth's hunger. The surviving west and east edges still trace a subcircular chamber large enough for rooftops, herds or argument. What is missing has not vanished; it has been taken into the road, the wall or the field.

Some 15m S of ringfort (GA044-022----). Subcircular rath (E-W 37.5m, N-S 34.8m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is best preserved at W, and the outer bank at ENE. No visible surface trace of the monument survives at NNW and E due to quarrying. A gap at SE may be original. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
