Indicated

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a subcircular rath in low-lying Galway woodland, measuring 58 metres east-west and 41.5 metres north-south. Its inner scarp, fosse and outer bank still trace the shape beneath trees, while a three-metre northern gap may mark the original entrance. The fort has watched the woodland breathe for centuries, waiting for footsteps on its causeway.
