What is recorded here
No wall or gate remains, only a faint circular shadow on old maps and a sudden drop in grass where the earth may still hold its shape. The fort vanished beneath pasture and forgetting, yet it could be recovered through soil, patience and care. What is missing is not gone, but waiting to be read.
On a rise is open pastureland, formerly demesne land. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (D c. 40m). 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).
