What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Tulrush, County Galway: a shallow earthen ring on a sloping field, thirty metres across, facing a hidden lake and a hill. People may have lived there before the stones disappeared into grass, or the ring may have marked a boundary between human fields and fairy road. Either way, the land kept its shape.

On a NE-facing slope overlooking a turlough to NE and Knockmaa Hill to SW. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (NE-SW 33m, ENE-WSW 31m) defined by a bank at NW and NE, and elsewhere by a scarp. A CBG (GA043-136001-) is associated. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
