What is recorded here

Comer's Fort stood on a Shrule ridge until a tenant without taste for the antique dug it to destruction. beneath the erased surface, a hidden passage may still breathe in the dark, waiting for someone brave enough to listen. The grass remembers the shape of what was lost, even when the people who lived there forgot how to keep it.

On a ridge in undulating grassland. Known locally as 'Comer's Fort' (Neary 1914, 118, no. 51) and described as 'an earthen fort, which was completely dug by the occupying tenant, who had no taste for the antique'! No visible surface trace survives. There was a probable Man-made underground passage (GA005-105001-) in the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
