What is recorded here

Three ancient forts cluster on a Galway rise, yet the middle one wears a fairy name because people still see more life in its broken circle than survey numbers admit. The earth bank survives only from southwest through west to northwest, while the rest has slipped into a shallow scarp. That incomplete ring may be a failure of preservation or an invitation for imagination, because the land keeps giving back shapes instead of facts.

On a rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved circular ringfort (D 34m) defined by a bank of earth and stone from SW through W to NW, and elsewhere by a scarp. A ringfort (GA099-082----) lies c. 120m to N, and a second (GA099-058----) c. 250m to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
