What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballybrone: a shallow ring of grassed stone, fifty metres across, with a four-metre gap at the south-east and a small rectangular pen clinging to the wall. The gap may be the entrance, the pen a later addition, and the field banks to the north-west may mark older boundaries. Under the turf the ring still holds its shape, waiting to be walked.

In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (WSW-ENE 54.6m) defined by a grassed-over drystone wall; inner and outer wall-facing is visible at SE and S. A gap (Wth 4m) at SE could be original. Abutting the wall at SE is a rectangular structure (E-W; L 3m, Wth 1m), possibly a later animal pen. A series of field banks lie to NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
