Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No one knows which gods, people or events shaped the place. I can identify the visible remains, locate the area and quote the supplied evidence. What is missing is the lived story behind those facts.
In gently undulating pastureland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a conjoined circular enclosure (each D c. 30m). No visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
