What is recorded here

Crumlin holds a broken oval of earth sixty metres long on a west-facing slope, its boundary cut by later field walls. The rath has lost much of its shape, yet the remaining bank still marks the edge of a place where people once drew a line between inside and outside. That line may have separated a home, a ritual ground or a claim on the land. The earth remembers the shape even when the name has faded.

On W-facing slope of a rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved oval rath (N-S 60.5m, E-W 52.6m) defined by a bank. A field wall cuts the monument at NNE and W and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to NW of it. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
