What is recorded here

Conally's Fort in Darrary South is a slight circular rise about thirty-five metres across, all that survives of an earthen structure on a gentle pastureland ridge. It is unclear whether Conally was a local chieftain, a wandering trader or a forgotten landlord, but the fort still marks the exact spot where someone believed they needed a defensible boundary. The earth has swallowed most of the wall, yet the circle remains visible enough to stop a walker and force them to imagine the lives lost inside it.

On a gentle rise in undulating pastureland. Described by Neary (1914, 121, no. 74) as a 'circular, earthen fort'; known as 'Conally's Fort'. A slight circular rise (D c. 35m) is all that survives of this monument. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
