What is recorded here

Barnaderg North held a forty-metre stone ring beside the castle, but a modern house now sits upon its remains. Men called it a fairy fort because the field angles still refuse easy sense. What the ring kept from others has never stopped keeping itself from everyone.

In rolling grassland, 250m NW of Barnaderg Castle (GA044-018----). Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a circular enclosure (D c. 40m). Aerial reconnaissance in July 1970 (CUCAP K17 W 57-9) revealed a low bank in the interior, probably an internal division. Only a low platform now survives as a modern house occupies the monument. A field system (GA044-015----) lies to SW and W. (Norman and St Joseph 1969, 4-5) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
