What is recorded here

Indicated is a vanished rath in County Galway whose curving boundary still cuts across reclaimed farmland. The 1838 map drawn a subrectangular field with a cave inside, but by 1933 only the arc remained, and by 1983 the arc was all that could be seen. The land swallowed the fort yet kept its shape, proving that memory and soil use different rules.

In reclaimed farmland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly subrectangular field (c. 43m ENE-WSW; c. 34m N-S) with a 'Cave' (GA104-062001-) in the N sector of the interior. On the 1933 edition only the field boundary, curving from NW to SE, is depicted. On inspection in May 1983 only the curving boundary was visible; it may mirror the line of a possible rath.
