Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rinville East — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Half a century of rain erased the outer bank, but the inner circle still holds its breath on the Galway slope. Forty-seven metres of earth and stone mark a chamber where human hands shaped the dark, perhaps sealing a passage or hiding a life from the storm. The fairies took the rest, leaving only a hollow tube in the northwest ground and a fos

On a SE-facing slope in undulating grassland. Described by McCaffrey (1952, 142, no. 10) as a rath defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. No visible surface trace of the outer bank survives. The inner bank is visible throughout and is defined by a bank of earth and stone (diam. 47m). Traces of internal stone-facing are visible at S. The fosse survives from SSE through S to WNW. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA095-125001-) in the NW quadrant of the interior. (Athy 1914, 133) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 3 April 2018
