Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corker

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mud and muscle built a thirty-two metre circle on a Galway ridge, leaving a narrow northeast gap that may have been the original entrance. The bank still stands tallest at the north, proving the structure resisted time and weather. People likely lived inside or feared what the local stories claimed, shaping an ordinary field into a place of transformation.
On a low ridge in grassland. Well-preserved circular rath (diam. c. 32m) defined by a bank best preserved at N. A gap (Wth 2.3m) at NE may be original. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 1 December 2017
