What is recorded here

Thirty-five metres of forgotten wall circle a Galway hill, reduced to a shallow scar and a faint ditch that a modern path has already cut in two. People may have lived inside that broken ring before the grass swallowed the truth, yet the fairies keep the fort now and refuse to leave it empty.

On a hill in grassland. Very poorly preserved almost circular rath (E-W 35m, N-S 34m) defined by a scarp and shallow external fosse. A pathway cuts the monument at E. (Claffey 1983, 161) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
