What is recorded here

Half-buried in the Galway grass, the fort keeps its shape like a breath held under water. Stone and earth still mark the curve on one side, while a cut scar completes the circle on the other, as if the land itself finished the wall. Inside, a hidden passage and a faint dividing line suggest chambers, tunnels, or rooms never fully revealed. The hillock stands out in open country, inviting people to walk its edge and imagine what lived beneath the turf.

On a prominent hillock in grassland. Very poorly preserved subcircular ringfort (NNW-SSE 26.3m, ENE-WSW 23.8m) defined by a bank of earth and stone from ENE to SE and from NNW to N; elsewhere a quarried-out scarp forms the enclosing element. Traces of a Man-made underground passage (GA086-231001-) and a possible internal division lie within the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
