What is recorded here

Twenty metres north of another ringfort in Marley, a broken earth bank still draws a wide circle across the field. The southeast gap remains open, inviting entry into a space where human hands shaped soil into a boundary for living, defending, or belonging. Time has erased the ditch on three sides, yet the ridge persists enough to suggest that the land remembers the shape before it forgets the purpose.

Circa 20m N of a ringfort (GA029-122----). Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 49.3m, E-W 43.7m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is extant from NW through N to NE and at SW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse does not survive from SW through W to NNE. Entrance gap at SE. Field walls encircle the monument. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
