What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken fairy fort on a Galway hill, its stone ring surrendered to scrub and forgetting. Field walls cut through the ancient circle like careless knives, proving that human boundaries still override even faded magic. The fort does not resist this invasion; it accepts the chaos as a natural transformation from treasure to terrain.

On the summit of a low hill in scrubland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 20.5m) defined from N through E to SW by a drystone wall now reduced to a substantial spread of rubble. From SW through W to N, a field wall forms the enclosing element, whilst another cuts the monument at NW and SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
