Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Drumharsna South

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible stones remain in Drumharsna South, but a forty-four-metre ghost circle still lies hidden beneath the pasture. The land may remember the weight of a lost wall even when human eyes see only grass. What is absent there is not empty; it is waiting to be imagined.
In pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 273, no. 38) as a circular ‘Stone fort’ (diam. c. 44.5m) defined by a drystone wall. No visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 December 2017
