Kilnagreban Fort

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Kilnagreban Fort is a broken oval rath on a Galway rise, its earth bank half-swallowed by pasture and shadow. Trees lean against the western scar like they are listening for someone inside. What remains is small enough to walk around in a minute, yet large enough to keep a secret for centuries.
On a rise in undulating pastureland. This very poorly preserved and heavily overgrown oval rath (25m N-S; 14m E-W) is defined by a bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.7m) from ESE through S to SW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. Trees and shrubs are piled against the monument from SE through W to NW.
