What is recorded here

Half-buried in Galway's rolling fields, the fairy fort keeps a broken circle thirty metres wide. Its earthen bank has surrendered to grass and time, leaving only a faint swelling where human hands once shaped the earth. A true ringfort waits one hundred and fifty metres south, but this ghostly twin suggests the land held more life than stones alone can prove.

In undulating farmland. Poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (E-W 30m, N-S 25m) defined by a degraded earthen bank, no visible surface trace of which survives from E to S. Gaps at NE and NW appear modern. A ringfort (GA099-169----) lies c. 150m to SSE.
