What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Grange, County Galway: a poor circular rath, 28.5m across, with two banks and a ditch between them, lies about 230m WNW of another ringfort. Its outer bank survives only from NNW through N to E, as if the field took back most of the shape. People may have lived there, feared it, or simply walked past it; the earth keeps the difference secret.
Circa 230m WNW of a ringfort (GA087-111----). Poorly preserved circular rath (D 28.5m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. Theouter bank only survives from NNW through N to E.
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).
