What is recorded here

Marley holds an oval fairy fort fifty-nine metres long, sitting one hundred and fifty metres from another ringfort. Two earth banks and a central ditch define the shape, though field boundaries have climbed across the south and north edges. The duplicate layout suggests human hands built one place and memory transformed the other into fairy territory.

Circa 150m to ESE of a ringfort (GA029-122----). Oval rath (N-S 59m, E-W 53m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A field bank overlies the outer bank at S, and another runs just outside it at N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
