What is recorded here

Chapel Fort is an overgrown circular rath in County Galway, Ireland, with a shallow rectangular hollow at its centre. It sits 120m north of another ringfort, and its worn bank suggests people once shaped the land before forgetting the name. The gap at the southwest may be the original entrance, inviting entry into a place where memory has gone soft but the form still holds.

Some 120m N of another ringfort (GA099-057----). Poorly preserved overgrown circular rath (D 38m) defined by bank, no visible surface trace of which survives from ENE to S. A gap (Wth 2.5m) at SW may be original. In the centre of the interior is a shallow grassy subrectangular hollow (L 4m, Wth 2m) running N-S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
