Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of rubbing or scraping will make that hidden chamber appear. It wants to be found, not forced.
On a rise in hilly pastureland. Marked on the 1925 edition of the OS 6-inch as a subcircular enclosure (c. 37m NE-SW; c. 35m NW-SE-S). No visible surface trace survives. A possible Man-made underground passage (GA125-031001-) is associated. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 19 February 2019
