What is recorded here

Thirty-three metres of forgotten boundary still circle the Callow rise, though grass and time have softened most of the banks. The fort stands beside another ringfort, suggesting a small cluster of lives rather than a lonely marker. People may have herded cattle, hidden during storms, or simply watched the rolling Galway sky from that shallow ridge. What is left resists explanation: two faint ridges, a broken southern wall, and an eastern gap that may have been a door.

On a rise in gently rolling grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 33m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank survives only at N. A field wall overlies the enclosing elements at S. A gap (Wth 3m) at E could be original. A square banked enclosure to NE appears modern. A ringfort (GA073-029----) lies c. 150m to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
