What is recorded here

Half of a fifty-six metre ring vanished under a bulldozer in the 1950s, leaving only a western bank to mark the ghost of Castlelambert. The remaining curve faces east across undulating grassland, inviting imagination to complete what the machine erased. People may have lived inside the lost southern half, tending fires or watching storms, but the soil keeps that chapter closed.

On an E-facing slope in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved originally circular rath (D 56m) defined by a bank from W through N to E. According to local information, the S half of the monument was bulldozed in the 1950s and no visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
