What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not for fairies, they are for people. Build a wall around your life and stop wondering whether magic is real. The flat grassland in Loonaghtan still holds a broken circle, small enough to walk around and old enough to resist explanation. Stand inside it when nobody watches. That is the whole test.

In level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 37m, E-W 33m) defined by a stone-faced bank at SE, and elsewhere by a scarp. A gap at SE could be original. The monument has been quarried out at NNE. It is ringed with trees and bushes. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
