What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Castlebin North,skehanagh South is a poorly preserved subcircular rath on a grassland ridge in County Galway, Ireland. The earthworks still mark a broken circle, but modern cuts and boundary walls have cut through the ancient shape. What remains suggests a place where people once drew a line around their own world before forgetting the name of the hand that made it.

On a ridge in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 55m, ESE-WNW 52.2m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank survives from ESE through S to WSW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives from S to WNW. Numerous breaches in the bank appear modern. The td. boundary wall cuts the monument at ESE and WNW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
