What is recorded here
Fearagha holds a forgotten ringfort, marked on old surveys as a forty-metre circle but erased from the living land. It sits one hundred metres west of another enclosure, suggesting a small cluster of human ambition rather than a lonely outpost. The soil has taken back the boundary, leaving no visible trace for modern eyes to judge. What remains is a ghost of geometry, waiting for rain or memory to reveal its shape again.
Some 100m W of an enclosure (GA042-128----). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 40m). N 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).
