What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Rathfee, County Galway: a subcircular cashel about forty metres wide in level grassland, its low drystone wall surviving only from southeast through south to northwest. Field walls cut into both ends, as if the place had been half-forgotten and then half-taken. What remains is a shallow arc of stones, neither grand nor complete, yet distinct enough to suggest that people once shaped the land there and lived inside the curve.

In level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (E-W c. 40m, N-S c. 38m) defined by a low drystone wall from SE through S to NW. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. Field walls cut the monument at NW and SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
