What is recorded here

Thirty-two metres of forgotten boundary still circles the flat Galway grass, though a later field wall has bitten through its southeast edge. The remaining bank and outer ditch mark a place where humans once drew a sharp line around ordinary life. Everything inside that lost circle has returned to soil, leaving behind a shallow invitation to imagine who stood there, argued there, or loved there before forgetting took the names.

In level grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 32m) defined by a bank from SE through W to N. No visible surface trace survives from N to ESE and a field wall overlies it at SE. An external fosse survives from W to N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
