What is recorded here

Lack holds a subcircular ringfort thirty-eight metres wide on a rise above the River Clare. Two banks and a central ditch enclose the site, while the inner bank wears a stone face. A field bank now buries part of the outer edge, and an underground passage lies within the interior. The fort is not a vague fairy tale or an abandoned shape; it is a built place where human hands arranged stone, earth and entrance on open Galway land.

On a rise in otherwise level grassland. The River Clare flows to S. Subcircular ringfort (NW-SE 38m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is faced with stone. A field bank overlies the fosse and outer bank from NNW through N to SE. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA016-090001-) within the interior.
