What is recorded here

Monumentpark holds a faded fairy fort, a subcircular ring of earth thirty-two metres across, sitting one hundred and fifty metres west of another rath. Quarrying has bitten into its banks from several directions, leaving only a suggestion of the entrance and a memory of the ditch that once ringed it. The loss is not empty; it is a reminder that human hands keep taking even what time has already softened.

Some 150m W of a ringfort (GA030-099----). Poorly preserved subcircular rath (NW-SE 32m) defined by a bank and external fosse. Possible entrance gap at NE. Quarrying has encroached upon the enclosing elements from N to NE and from S to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
