Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Grannagh (loughrea By.)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

That is the only claim being made. The story is not that a hidden chamber exists or that the camera records ghost light. A private legend may be told anywhere, but it should not be written as history.
In flat pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (c. 51m N-S; c. 47m E-W). No visible surface trace survives. The cartographic evidence suggests that it was a ringfort, probably a rath. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 March 2019

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
