What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular fairy fort in level Galway grassland, its twenty-eight-metre bank degraded but still drawing the eye. A field wall now climbs part of the ancient earth, while trees and a pump house occupy the middle. The fort has stopped being human property and become a place where water, grass and memory circulate together.

In level grassland. Circular rath (D 28.3m) defined by a degraded bank and external fosse. The bank is overlain by a field wall from SE to S. Possible causeway visible over the fosse at E. The interior is landscaped with trees and contains a pump house and watering trough. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
