What is recorded here

No visible surface trace survives, yet a ringfort and chambered grave still mark the grassland, proving the fort was real before it vanished. The fairies may have taken the stones back, but human hands built the circle, lived inside it, and left it behind. Bunnaconeen keeps both truths at once: the danger of forgetting and the mischief of fairy tale.

On a slight rise in grassland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 40m); no visible surface trace survives. A CBG (GA042-043001-) is associated. A ringfort (GA042-042----) lies c. 100m to SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
