What is recorded here

Flaskagh More holds a broken earthen ring on a grassy summit, perhaps thirty metres across and old enough to predate human memory in local thought. The earth itself may have shaped the circle before people arrived, inviting them to complete what the land had already begun. Nearby rings and scattered stones suggest a region where the boundary between human making and natural formation never fully closed. What people built there is no longer certain, but the shape remains, waiting to be read.

On a hill summit in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 24m) defined by a scarp which is overlain by a field boundary at SW. No visible surface trace of it survives at NE. A ringfort (GA005-059----) lies c. 300m to WSW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
