Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ballymore (craughwell Ed)

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

A circular stone ringfort stands on a Galway rise, overlooking flood lands to the east and south. Its collapsed wall marks a forgotten boundary where human hands shaped the earth before memory faded. The stones still hold the shape of a lived place, even when the name has slipped from ordinary speech.
On a rise in undulating farmland, overlooking flood lands to E and S. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 38.8m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall. (McCaffrey 1952, 148, no. 85) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 January 2017
