What is recorded here
Indicated is a vanished fairy fort on a Galway rise, reduced to a slight curve in a field wall. That small bend may be all that remains of a much larger oval enclosure, suggesting human hands shaped the land before grass and forgetting erased the rest.
On a rise in undulating grassland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (c. 60m by c. 50m). Apart from a slight curve in a field wall, 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).
