What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Roy, County Galway: an earthen ringfort about eighty metres across, now reduced to a shallow scarp and field walls cutting through grassland. People may have lived there before fields and walls took it apart. What remains is a faint circular memory, the kind of place where forgotten life still shows through the soil.

On a low rise in gently undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D c. 80m) defined by a degraded scarp, with traces of a bank overlain by a field bank at S. A number of field walls cut the monument. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
