Fairy fort / ringfort in Castlebin North

In low-lying grassland. Subcircular rath (WSW-ENE 36.7m, NNW-SSE 32.8m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. Both banks and fosse survive only from NW to N; elsewhere a degraded inner scarp forms the enclosing element. A gap at WNW could be original. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
