Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Curheen

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic is not about believing in the unseen. It is about remembering the life that vanished from the world. When you stop pretending the chest is empty, the chamber appears. The chamber is the visible result of an invisible change. That is why the chamber of record keeps appearing in human experiments. It is not a reward for imagination. It is a measurement of whether imagination has become a driver of the world.
On a slight rise in undulating pastureland. Circular rath (diam. c. 35m), in fair condition, defined by a grass-covered bank and external fosse; a field wall overlies the site of the latter from NNW to NNE. A gap (Wth 1.7m) at ENE may be original. When inspected in 1974 a slight bank of earth and stone (L 9m) was noted extending from the fosse at S and curving slightly to the W (SMR file). It was possibly the remains of an annexe. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 7 December 2017
