What is recorded here
Kelly s grove Fort is a subcircular rath on a gentle E-facing slope in County Galway, Ireland. The low scarp and field bank at E mark a poorly preserved ringfort about 36m N-S and 34m E-W. It may have been a dwelling, a boundary marker or a place for ritual, but the earth has taken most of the answer. What remains is a shallow circle waiting to be remembered.
On a gentle E-facing slope. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 36m, E-W 34m) defined by a low scarp overlain by a field bank at E.
