What is recorded here

Half a kilometre east, another ringfort still stands, but Kilgevrin has surrendered most of its shape to grass and time. What remains is a shallow crescent of earth on a slight rise, the kind of place where people once drew a line between inside and outside, then walked away. The fairies may have taken the rest, or simply never have existed at all.

On a rise in otherwise level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (NW-SE c. 30m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank is present from SSW to W. No visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives from NW through N to SE. A ringfort (GA016-069----) lies c. 350m to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
