What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Parkmore, County Galway: a 43 m circular rath in level grassland, now reduced to a tree-lined bank from south through west to north and a possible 6.5 m southwest gap. The outer ditch recorded by Rynne has no visible trace left. What remains is less a fortress than a suggestion: a ring drawn in soil and shadow, waiting for somebody to remember the shape.

In level grassland. Very poorly preserved originally circular rath (D 43m), defined by a tree-lined bank from S through W to N. No visible surface trace of it survives elsewhere, or of the external fosse noted by Rynne (Topgr. Files UCG). A gap (Wth 6.5m) at SW may be original. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
