Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Rahard

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo records a subcircular cashel in Rahard, County Galway, spanning 35.9 metres east-west and 29.4 metres north-south. Its collapsed drystone wall has been overlain by a field boundary at the southwest, transforming ancient structure into ordinary pasture. The fort is poorly preserved, yet its dimensions and location remain clear enough to trace the shape of a place that once resisted forgetting.
