What is recorded here

Indicated is a fading fairy fort on a Galway rise, its thirty-six-metre circle reduced to a bank and shallow ditch that later field walls and a roadway have cut or swallowed. Trees now grow on the remaining northern edge, hiding the old line beneath living shadow. Any passage said to exist inside would have required deliberate digging and memory, yet even that possibility has vanished without a trace.

On a rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 36m) defined by a bank and external fosse from NNW through N to SSE; no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. A later tree-lined field bank, roughly E-W running, incorporates the N sector of the site and from NNW to NNE, where trees are growing on the enclosing bank, its external face has been steepened. Another later field bank, running N-S, lies just inside the line of the original bank at W. A roadway immediately to the S of the monument probably clipped the line of the fosse. Traces of a possible Man-made underground passage (GA107-029001-) lie in the SW quadrant of the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 27 November 2017
