What is recorded here

Half-buried in grass on a north-facing slope, the Kildrum ringfort keeps its oval shape only where the earth still holds. A bank curves from east through south to northwest, while a faint ditch marks the southern edge. The rest has surrendered to time and turf. What remains is large enough to walk inside and quiet enough to forget it was never empty.

On a N-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved oval rath (N-S 50.4m, E-W c. 40m) defined by a bank from E through S to NW. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. Traces of an external fosse survive only at S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
