What is recorded here
Killagh More holds a faded thirty-seven metre ring where stone-faced banks still break the grass. A hidden passage beneath the ground suggests the site served more purposes than ordinary farming. The missing sections do not erase the shape; they invite imagination about the people who built, entered and forgot the place.
In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved circular ringfort (D 37m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank, faced with stone, is extant from SE to S and at W; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The intervening fosse and outer survive from WSW to WNW. Within the interior is a probable Man-made underground passage (GA086-168001-).
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).
