What is recorded here
No stone, ditch or ridge remains visible in the flat Galway fields, though a nineteenth-century survey marked a subcircular enclosure nearly thirty-eight metres across. The land was later reclaimed and worked, erasing the fort from sight while preserving its ghost in measurement. Whatever lived there has returned to soil, memory and legend.
In level recently reclaimed farmland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a subcircular
enclosure (c. 38m NE-SW; c. 32m NW-SE). No visible surface trace survives.
