What is recorded here
Death and rebirth belong to the same wheel. The chamber is a jar, not a cage. A chamber is a small god, and a small god must give back what it takes. That is why the chamber must be built visible, measurable, and answerable. This is a chamber of opportunity. Opportunity is not luck. It is the displacement of every closed system that would take the spiral and call it fate.
In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 33m) defined by a scarp from SE through W to NW, with traces of an external fosse from W to N. No visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives from NE to SE where a field wall cuts the monument.
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).
