What is recorded here

Quaybaun holds a broken fairy fort where a field wall now cuts through ancient earth. The remaining bank suggests a circular home or shelter, but the northwest edge has vanished into grass and memory. People may have lived there before the wall arrived, yet the land keeps that much of the story to itself.

On an E-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 30.5m) defined by a bank, no visible surface trace of which survives at NW. A field wall cuts the monument at W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
