What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Curraghrevagh stands in gently undulating grassland in County Galway, Ireland. Its subcircular rath stretches 26 metres north-south and 24.5 metres east-west, enclosed partly by bank and partly by scarp, with an external fosse surviving from south through west to west-northwest. Field walls now cut across it at south-southwest and northwest, yet the shape remains clear enough to walk inside and imagine whoever first drew that line in the grass.

In gently undulating grassland. Subcircular rath (N-S 26m, E-W 24.5m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is present from NW through E to SSW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives from S through W to WNW. Field walls cut the monument at SSW and NW.
