What is recorded here

Thirty-two metres of vanished wall still circle a grassy rise in Kildaree, though field walls have cut through its southern and western edges. The northern bank remains visible while the rest has surrendered to soil and forgetting. People may have lived there before becoming a fairy fort in local memory, but the earth has erased most evidence of their hands.

On a rise in grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 32m) defined by a bank from NW to N, and elsewhere by a scarp. Field walls cut the monument at S and W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
