What is recorded here
Raheennabaddoge is a fairy fort in County Galway, Ireland. Its oval bank and ditch still mark the hillside, with a gap at the east that may be the original entrance. Cows graze around it now, but local story keeps the place for unseen neighbours. The fort has waited patiently through centuries, neither forgotten nor fully understood.
On the N-facing slope of a hillock in pastureland. This roughly oval rath (34m E-W; 25m N-S), in
fair condition, is defined by a bank and external fosse; the latter survives from W to NW. A gap (Wth 3m) at E may be original. (Holt 1912, 229; McCaffrey 1952, 132, no. 25)
