What is recorded here

Eskerboy in Ballyvaheen holds a circular rath thirty-three metres wide, its earth and stone bank broken by a modern road and forgotten trails. The surviving arc suggests a place where people once drew a line around their lives, excluding rain, danger and perhaps the fairies themselves. What is missing has not stopped the shape from speaking; it still circles the pasture, waiting for someone to walk the gap and complete the ring in their mind.

In gently undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. c. 33m) defined by a bank of earth and stone from SSW through W to NE; elsewhere no visible surface trace survives. A road cuts across the monument from SW to E. Several breaches in the bank appear to be modern. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 February 2019
