Fairy fort / ringfort in Bogpark

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Bogpark holds a faded ringfort where a subcircular enclosure once rose thirty-two metres through Galway farmland. The land has taken back most of the work, leaving only a low ridge for feet to find. That much of a shaped place can disappear into ordinary soil is the strange part.
On a rise in undulating farmland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (N-S 32m, E-W 24m); all that survives is a low rise. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
