What is recorded here
No wonder the fort is called a fairy fort. It has a hidden passage inside, and the missing wall may be a door.
In low-lying grassland. Subcircular ringfort (NW-SE 45.8m, NE-SW 43.5m), in fair condition, defined by a bank of earth and stone and external fosse. No visible surface trace survives from E through S to SW. Within the interior are a CBG (GA042-220002-) and a probable Man-made underground passage (GA042-022001-).
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).
