What is recorded here

Fairy fort and ringfort in Clonbrock Demesne, a 51m circular rath on a north-facing grassland slope in County Galway, still shows its bank and broken fosse beneath later field lines. It may have been a dwelling, a boundary marker or a child's guessing game about hidden life. The grass keeps its edge secret, but the shape remains large enough to walk around and imagine someone turning it into a home.

On a N-facing slope in grassland within the former Clonbrock estate. A poorly preserved circular rath (D 51m) defined by a bank and external fosse. A field bank overlies the bank from NW through N to NE. The fosse survives from NE through E to SE and from S to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
