What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Reaghan, County Galway: a subcircular earthen ringfort, 41m by 38.5m, with two banks, a fosse between them, and a possible 4m causewayed gap at the south. Trees have taken most of it back, but stone-facing still shows on parts of the banks, and a field wall rings the whole place. The name suggests people once refused to explain it, which is often what happens when an old form stops making sense and starts making wonder.

On an E-facing slope in pastureland. This subcircular rath (41m N-S; 38.5m E-W), heavily overgrown with trees, is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A causewayed gap (Wth 4m) at S may be original. Traces of stone-facing are visible on the inner bank at S, and at NNW on the outer bank. A field wall surrounds the monument. A possible Man-made underground passage (GA116-109001-) is associated. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 March 2018
