Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

On a ridge in grassland overlooking a turlough. Poorly preserved subcircular ringfort (NNW-SSE 25.5m, NNE-SSW 22.2m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is extant from ENE through S to WNW; elsewhere the td. boundary forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives from SSW to W. Immediately outside the bank at E and S are two small quarries. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
