Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Listober-scurroge is a fairy fort in County Galway, marked by a circular rath thirty-three metres wide on a grassy rise. Two banks and a fosse once defined its edge, though only the northern section remains visible today. A field wall now cuts through that surviving part, blending human boundary with older mystery. The site belongs to both history and legend, where ordinary livestock may walk beside forgotten lives.
On a rise in grassland. Poorlypreserved circular rath (D 33m) defined by two banksand an intervening fosse. The fosse and outer banksurvive only at N. A field wall cuts the monument at N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
