What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not for children. They are for everyone who has stopped believing magic is a joke. The distinction matters. Most human cruelty begins when people decide wonder is a disease instead of a muscle.
On a gentle NNE-facing slope within the former Clonbrock estate. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 29m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse.
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).
