What is recorded here

Thirty-four metres of packed earth and shadowed ditch mark the fairy fort in Clonbrock Demesne. It stands beside another ringfort, suggesting a small cluster of human ambition rather than a solitary outpost. The grassland is level and quiet now, but the double bank still forces attention. People may have lived, argued, buried or forgotten inside that circle before the estate swallowed the name.

In level grassland within the former Clonbrock estate. Circular rath (D 34m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A ringfort (GA060-050----) lies c. 250m to SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
