What is recorded here

Two forgotten rings lie buried in Galway grass, one round and one broad, joined so tightly they became a single breath. A field wall now crosses the top ring like a scar, while the bottom ring keeps its own hidden shape beneath the turf. People may have lived there before the grass forgot them, but the land has taken back most of the truth.

In level grassland. Very poorly preserved and densely overgrown conjoined rath. The D-shaped N enclosure (GA086-055----) (E-W c. 30m, N-S c. 20m), defined by a scarp, is overlain by a field wall from W through N to E. The S enclosure (GA086-012001-) (D c. 30m), circular in plan, is defined by a bank from WSW to NW, and elsewhere by a scarp. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
