Kelly s grove Fort

Fairy fort / ringfort

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. 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
