What is recorded here
Mortals levelled half the fort in 1982, believing they understood the ground. The remaining bank circles untouched, waiting for the fool who broke it to return and finish the shape.
On a gentle S-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved circular ringfort (D 38m) defined by a bank which survives from N through E to ESE where a field boundary cuts the monument. The remainder was levelled in 1982 by the landowner (pers. comm. Prof. Rynne). A CBG (GA085-072001-) is associated.
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).
