What is recorded here

No fairy fort in Streamstown, County Leitrim. That is a different place. In County Galway, an irregular earthen ring stretches seventy-five metres across gentle pastureland. Its broken bank still rises one metre twenty outside, while a man-made passage cuts into the north-west interior. Someone dug beneath the ground inside a fort already old enough to belong to the land.

On a gentle rise in undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved irregularly shaped rath (c. 75m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (base Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m). The bank is visible from S through W to NE. A gap (Wth 2.5m) at NNE appears to be modern. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA106-158001-) in the NW sector of the interior. In the SE sector a subcircular earthen bank (c. 20m by 16.3m; H 0.4m) may be an internal division. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 25 April 2018
