What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Traskernagh, County Galway. A circular rath about 26 metres across on a gentle rise, with two banks and a fosse between them. The inner bank and ditch are still visible all round, but the outer bank has largely vanished under a field boundary. It is the kind of place people once walked past without knowing how old it was.

On a gentle rise in undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved overgrown circular rath (diam. c. 26m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (base Wth 5m; Wth at top 1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.7m) and fosse (Wth 1.4m) are visible all round. The outer bank is overlain by a field boundary and no visible surface trace survives in the N sector.
