What is recorded here
Tonrevagh held a thirty-metre circular enclosure on a grassy rise above a small pond, yet no visible trace remains today. The earth may have swallowed the wall or people may have walked it flat, but the shape resists forgetting. A fairy fort is not a joke about ignorance; it is a warning that some boundaries still touch the imagination.
On a rise in undulating grassland immediately SE of a small pond. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 30m). No visible surface trace survives.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
