What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Corrspark, County Galway: a shallow circular scar, forty-five metres across, cut into the east-facing hillside. Its ditch still traces three-quarters of the circle, while the bank has softened into grass. Another ringfort waits two hundred metres east, as if the first were a rehearsal or a discarded draft. People may have lived here, or marked the hill for reasons they never wrote down.
On E-facing slope of a hill in grassland. Poorly preserved almost circular rath (N-S 46m, E-W 45m) defined by a degraded scarp and external fosse; the latter survives from S through W to N. A ringfort (GA007-057----) lies c. 200m to E.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
