Indicated

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined circular rath on a south-facing Galway slope, its twenty-seven-metre boundary reduced to a shallow scarp in grassland. A buried chamber remains hidden inside the flat circle, waiting for rain or memory to reveal its shape. The fort has lost most of its wall, yet it still marks the edge between ordinary field and forgotten life.
On a S-facing slope in grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 27.8m) defined by a scarp. Within the interior is a CBG (GA059-007----) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
