What is recorded here

Three jutting hills east of Dunmore once wore scarped fortifications, arranged in a gentle arc with the largest at the centre. They have vanished without a surface trace, leaving behind a clean absence rather than a ruined mound. The land kept the shape long enough for Neary to see it in 1914, then took it back.

Neary (1914, 113, no. 80) records that 'On E. side of Dunmore are three jutting hills crested with pretty clumps of trees, which seem to have had forts formed by scarping on their summits. They lie in arc shape, the central being the largest'. No visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
