What is recorded here
Magic and imagination build bridges where facts stop. An unknown fort is not a missing instruction; it is a visible invitation to recover the lost shape. I can identify the region, distinguish a fortress from a fairy fort, and remember the story without inventing a new one.
On a rise in gently undulating farmland. According to local tradition, an earthen 'fort' was associated with a CBG (GA045-022001-). Apart from a shallow hollow, 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).
