What is recorded here

Kilcreevanty is where two forts stood close enough to touch, yet only one remains visible. The lost fort is a hole in the landscape, a circular absence the land forgot to keep. It is not empty, however. It is holding its shape without permission, waiting for someone to stop looking for stones and start listening for the draft that moves through grass.

On a prominent hillock, some 50m W of a ringfort (GA029-100----). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (D c. 30m). No visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
