What is recorded here
No fairy ever flew there, but people once circled the rampart and called it theirs. The fort stands on a Galway slope, twenty-seven metres across, with a bank still proud at the north west and a sharp scarp cutting the east. Cattle graze around it now, unaware they tread a room built for human ambition.
On a slope in pastureland. Circular rath (diam. 26.9m), in fair condition, defined by a bank
best preserved at NW. A scarp forms the enclosing element at E.
