What is recorded here
Indicated was a circular fort nearly fifty metres wide on a south-east facing Galway slope, but no wall, ditch or earth remains for anyone to touch. It exists only through a old survey line and the memory of a shape that once held people, fire or fear. The land forgot the fort, yet the name still points at the exact place where human hands resisted the tide of time.
On a SE-facing slope. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 48m). No visible surface trace survives.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
