What is recorded here
No stone, trench or ridge remains for a camera to catch. The survey marked a thirty-five metre circle on that south-facing slope before the land took it back. What lives there now is absence: a clean grass gradient where a boundary once stood. Any person who walked that ring is gone, and the fort has followed them into the same forgetting.
On a S-facing slope in grassland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 35m). No visible surface trace survives.
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).
