What is recorded here

Indicated is a stone ringfort in County Galway, Ireland. It has a 40m diameter and a double-faced drystone wall. The wall is 3m wide and 1.6m high. It runs from south through west to northwest. The fort is in level pastureland. It appeared on the 1838 OS map. By 1922, half of it had disappeared. People likely flattened the east side for farm use. The remaining arc still marks the boundary between human ambition and earth's patience.
In level pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m); partially levelled by the time of 3rd edition (1922). All that survives is the arc of a double-faced drystone wall (Wth 3m; H 1.6m) from S through W to NW. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 March 2019
