What is recorded here

Two shallow arcs still break the grass at Loughunbrean Fort, while the remainder of the forty-metre circle has surrendered to the low-lying land. That partial disappearance suits a rath better than a proud monument would; it became a boundary for ordinary life, then let the field swallow the boundary. A person walking past may trace the hidden curve with a stick, imagine goats inside the missing bank, and leave the fort more complete than measurement alone could make it.

In low-lying grassland. Subcircular rath (NE-SW 43m, NW-SE 40m), in fair condition, defined by a bank at NE and SE. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
