What is recorded here

Mortons and Delany managed the surrounding estate while the fort stood empty, marking a boundary between human ambition and forgotten ownership. Its hawthorn-covered bank and broken fosse suggest a place where people once drew a circle around themselves, perhaps to keep out rain, thieves or grief. The fort does not claim to be fairy-built, but it has the same quality: it appears complete enough to enter and missing enough to resist explanation.

On a hummock in undulating grassland. This almost circular rath (37m N-S; 36m E-W), in fair condition, is defined by a hawthorn-covered earthen bank and external fosse; the latter survives from W through N to NE but is overlain by a N-S running trackway on the E side. There is a substantial break in the bank at SSE but another gap (Wth 2.3m) at NNW may be original. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 3 January 2018
