What is recorded here
Kilgevrin holds a broken earthen ring beside the River Clare, its western bank erased by time or plough. The surviving curve suggests a small fortified home rather than a fairy dance floor, yet the loss of half its boundary invites imagination. A person may have stood inside that circle, watching water move or listening for danger, before the grass swallowed the mark.
In gently undulating grassland on E bank of the River Clare. Poorly perserved subcircular rath (N-S 31m, WSW-ENE 28.6m) defined by a bank, no visible surface trace of which survives from WSW to N. An enclosure (GA016-072----) lies c. 80m to SE.
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).
