What is recorded here

Indicated is a vanished Galway fairy fort, remembered only through a later field wall and a hidden tree-choked passage. The fort itself has surrendered to grass and forgetting, leaving behind a circular shadow and a descent into darkness. What remains is not a ruin but a suggestion: a shape repeated by chance, a hole where the ground swallows light, and a name that points instead of describing.

In level pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 285-6, no. 52) as a circular ‘Stone fort’ (diam. c. 46m) defined by a double-faced drystone wall. No visible surface trace survives. A later circular field wall may mirror its outline. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA114-147001-) in the interior which is planted with trees.
