What is recorded here

Shangarry in County Galway once held an oval ringfort about forty metres long, now erased from the undulating pastureland. The earth swallowed the boundary, leaving behind a name and a shadow rather than a wall. People may have lived inside that forgotten circle, breathing air now lost to time.

In undulating pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as an oval enclosure (c. 40m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW). No visible surface trace survives. The cartographic evidence suggests that it was a ringfort. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 June 2019
