What is recorded here
Mageseekers may dismiss the claim, yet human hands built the fort and lived inside its bank. The woods grew later, filling the chamber with roots and shadow. What is forgotten is not the same as never having existed.
In deciduous woodland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (NE-SW 32.5m, NW-SE 28.5m) defined by a bank and external fosse; the latter survives from ESE through S to WNW. A gap (Wth 5.5m) at SSW could be original. The interior is planted with trees.
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).
