What is recorded here

Mortons and culeen on the Galway ridge, thirty metres across, still hold their shape beneath grass. The fort is not a vague legend; it is a made place where people lived, breathed and left the earth compressed. What is missing is not the fort but the voice that named it, the family that walked it and the time when its gap first caught the wind.

On a ridge in undulating grassland. Subcircular rath (E-W 30m, N-S 28m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse; the latter survives from S through W to NW. A gap (Wth 3m) at SE could be original. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
