What is recorded here

Thirty-three metres of earth and stone circle a hidden life on the Galway slope. Inside the broken ring, a long rectangular mound still marks the floor of a lost house. The fort faced east toward sunrise and lived beside another ringfort a short walk away. The fairies may have taken the roof, but they left the shape of the room behind.

On an E-facing slope in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved circular ringfort (D 33m) defined by a denuded bank of earth and stone. Gaps at NW and NNE may be modern. A low rectangular mound of earth and stone (L 9m, Wth 2m) is visible within the interior. A ringfort (GA042-038----) lies c. 300m to SE.
