What is recorded here

Killagh More holds a subcircular rath thirty-eight metres across on a grassy ridge, marked by a steep scarp and a surviving external fosse. The earthwork contains a man-made underground passage, suggesting the site served human purposes beyond ordinary pasture. Local names call it a fairy fort, yet the measured dimensions and built tunnel point to a inhabited place where people dug, defended or hid before the stories changed its shape.

On a ridge in grassland. Subcircular rath (NNE-SSW 38.8m, WNW-ESE 36m), in fair condition, defined by a scarp and an external fosse; the latter survives from NE to ESE. Numerous gaps appear modern. Within the interior is a Man-made underground passage (GA086-166001-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
