What is recorded here
Half the defensible boundary is a cliff, half is built bank: the ridge does half the work. A person who stood inside at dusk would have felt the land tilting the fort into shape instead of resisting it. What remains is not a monument to strength but to judgement, reading the hill and answering with the least possible force.
Windhill Fort is recorded as a archaeological place in County Galway. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
