Fairy fort / ringfort in Millford

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible trace survives, yet the old survey still draws an oval enclosure on the northern rise. A road now cuts through where a boundary once stood, reducing human ambition to a line across grass. The land has forgotten the wall, but it remembers the shape.
On N-facing rise in undulating pastureland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (c. 45m c. 35m) cut by a roadway at NW and SE. No visible surface trace survives. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
