What is recorded here
Nurserypark and Corrabaun hold an oval ringfort thirty-eight metres long on a rise above low grassland. Two banks and a ditch still mark the edge of that small world. People may have lived there, feared there or played there before memory faded. The grass keeps the shape while human certainty leaves it behind.
On a rise in otherwise low-lying grassland. Oval rath (E-W 38.3m, N-S 20.8m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is best preserved from SSW to WNW.
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).
