What is recorded here

Thirty metres across on a Galway slope, the lost fort keeps only a broken circle of bank and ditch, while quarrying and field walls have eaten the rest. It stands thirty metres from another ringfort, as if two households shared one hillside before forgetting themselves. Fairy fort is the name people gave what they could no longer explain.

On a SW-facing slope in grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 30m) defined by a scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank. No visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives from NW through N to NE or at SE due to quarrying. A field wall cuts the monument at NW and NE. A ringfort (GA029-168----) lies c. 30m to ESE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
