What is recorded here
Eighty metres south of a known enclosure in Drumbane, local tradition claims an earthen fort once stood. No visible trace survives to prove the memory, leaving the ground empty of walls but occupied by a forgotten shape. The land may have hidden a stronghold, a boundary marker or a child's fantasy, yet the absence itself keeps the place alive.
Some 80m S of an enclosure (GA005-046----). According to local tradition, there was an earthen 'fort' here. No visible surface trace survives.
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).
