What is recorded here

Morgan and I walked the D-shaped bank in Tonmoyle, listening for the rhythm of feet inside the overgrown ring. The stream circled like a living boundary, and the two banks held the shape of a house that refused to disappear. We sat beside the fosse until darkness came, not afraid but remembered, because the fort still asks people to stay present inside its circle.

In gently rolling grassland. An extremely overgrown D-shaped rath (NE-SW c. 40m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A stream surrounds the monument from NE through E to SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
