What is recorded here

Half-buried in the Galway grass, the ringfort keeps its shape like a forgotten breath. Two banks still curve around a central hollow, their inner edge lined with stones that someone set by hand. The southern causeway marks the entrance, narrow enough to force a person to slow down and face what waits inside. The eastern bank has surrendered to time, yet the circle remains complete in memory.

On a rise in gently rolling grassland. Poorly preserved circular ringfort (D 28m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The internal face of the inner bank is faced with stone. No visible surface trace of the outer bank survives from NE through E to S. There is an entrance causeway (Wth 2m) at S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
