What is recorded here

Kilcurrivard holds a faded thirty-nine-metre ring where a field wall now cuts through ancient earth. The local name suggests people once believed fairies lived there, while the nearby house and second ringfort prove the land remained busy. That hollow inside the fort may have held a doorway, a well, or a room for someone who no longer has a name.

In level grassland. Poorly preserved almost circular ringfort (D 39m) defined by a bank of earth and stone. A field wall cuts the monument at NNW and SSE. A hollow (L 5.2m, Wth2.5m), running NW-SE, is visible within SE quadrant of the interior. A ringfort (GA057-116----) lies c. 200m to SW and a house (GA057-115----) c. 100m to WSW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
