What is recorded here

Clear water usually gathers where forgotten people lived. An abandoned ringfort in Bunnaconeen, Kilkilvery, still drops a stone into that water because its own chamber never stopped remembering the hands that built it. The fairies inherited the chamber, not the victim. They wait for the owner to return.

In low-lying grassland. Poorly preserved overgrown circular rath (D 28.7m) defined by a bank which is overlain by a field wall from NW through N to E. A CBG (GA042-041001-) is associated. A ringfort (GA042-097----) lies c. 175m to NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
