What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Rahogarty North: a 30-metre earthen ring on a north-facing Galway slope, with two banks and a ditch between them. It is not a small mound but a made shape, likely old, likely human, perhaps marked for keeping or dwelling. The northwest gap shows the fort has given material back to the world, which is also what memory does.

On a N-facing slope in rolling grassland. Well-preserved subcircular rath (N-S 30m, E-W 27.5m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is present from NW through N to NE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank survive from SSW through W to NE. The monument has been quarried out at NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
