What is recorded here

Cloonlusk holds a ruined ring forty-two metres wide, its double banks and central ditch still visible along the western ridge. People later quarried stone from the eastern and southern edges, breaking the circle to build elsewhere. The fairies may have watched human hands dismantle their own fort, turning ancient boundary into ordinary wall material.

On a ridge in otherwise level grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 42.3m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse, best preserved from SW through W to N. The monument has been quarried out at NE, SE and SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
