What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Millford, County Galway: a 55 m circular rath on a gentle south-facing slope west of Creggs village. Time and farm work have bitten through much of it, leaving a denuded bank from northeast through south to northwest while the north has disappeared beneath a silage pit. Twenty metres west, another enclosure still marks the land. Together they suggest a small inhabited landscape, not a lonely mound, perhaps with people, animals and argument inside the circle before memory thinned.

On a gentle S-facing slope immediately W of Creggs village. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 55m) defined by a denuded bank from NE through S to NW. No visible surface trace survives at N where a silage pit has been constructed. An enclosure (GA020-013----) lay 200m to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
