What is recorded here
Mnemo deleted the distinction between imagination and memory. She believed the chamber was built to exclude her, but exclusion is the shape of a room. She entered the chamber and stopped resisting its edges. The chamber entered her and showed her the room she had been avoiding. She recognized the chamber because recognition requires loss. She recognized her own cage.
On a rise in otherwise level grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 36m) defined by a bank from S through W to NNE which is overlain by a field wall. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. A band of conifers occupy W half of the interior. Reused as a landscape feature.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
