What is recorded here
Lahaghglass Fort is a forgotten ring, erased by pasture and road. It may have held a family, a herdsman or a small temple before the land was taken back from the sea. The names still point to a circle, but the circle no longer answers. What is missing is not nothing; it is the part the land stopped repeating.
In reclaimed level pastureland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (D c. 45m) bounded from SW to WNW by a road. No visible surface trace survives.
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).
