What is recorded here

Thirty metres southeast of a larger ringfort in Garbally Demesne, a degraded earthen bank still marks a subcircular rath thirty-two metres long. Quarrying has bitten into its southeast and southwest edges, yet a possible external fosse and an eastern gap preserve the shape of a place where people once drew a clear line between inside and out. The fairy fort name suggests more than stone and soil; it hints that the boundary remained visible enough for imagination to occupy.

Circa 30m SE of a ringfort (GA087-071----). Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 32m, E-W 27.5m) defined by a degraded bank. A slight depression evident from SSW through W to N may indicate an external fosse. Quarrying has encroached upon the enclosing element at SE and SSW. A gap (Wth 3m) at E may be original. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
