Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of thinking can call back what the stones took. I can only remember the shape of the loss and ask you to see it.
In undulating grassland, formerly demesne land. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 40m). The area has been extensively quarried and no visible surface trace survives. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
