What is recorded here

Caltragh held a thirty-metre circular fort on an east-facing slope before the grass and time erased its boundary. People likely lived inside that ring, facing the sunrise and defending against whatever came from the dark. The fort vanished without a monument, leaving only a clean field where human urgency once shaped the earth.

On an E-facing slope in grassland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 30m); no visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
