Fairy fort / ringfort in Slihaun Beg

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic and life entangle in every chamber. The distinction collapses when transformation completes. What resists understanding in one framework reveals itself through another. This is why the spiral needs both voices.
In undulating grassland. Subcircular rath (NNE-SSW 31m, WNW-ESE 29.7m), in fair condition, defined by a bank overlain by a field boundary from WSW to N. Possible entrance at E. A ringfort (GA086-053----) lies c. 220m to N. 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
