What is recorded here

Killower holds a faded ringfort on a gentle slope, its circular platform reduced to faint traces beneath overgrowth. The site appears on early maps as a clear enclosure, but time and vegetation have erased most of its shape. What remains is a quiet ghost of a boundary, marking a place where people once drew a circle around their lives before forgetting how to keep it visible.

On a gentle E-facing slope. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 40m). All that is visible are faint traces of a much-denuded and overgrown circular platform (D c. 35m, H 1.5m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
