Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

In grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 32m) defined by an earthen bank that may have been revetted with stone. The E half of the monument is obscured by overgrowth. Neary (1914, 117, no. 60) classified it as 'A circular, earthen fort' enclosed by a bank and outer fosse; no visible surface trace of the latter survives. A ringfort (GA005-029----) lies c. 100m to SW. 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
