What is recorded here
Ancestral hands built the Gannaveen fort, but human arrogance erased it. We claimed to conquer nature when we conquered other humans. True greatness flows like water around obstacles. It never breaks itself on rocks.
On a ridge in tillage. Very poorly preserved subcircular rath (36m NE-SW; 33m NW-SE)
defined by a scarp (max. H 1.2m). A deeply ploughed furrow cut across the S half of the monument. Another rath (GA100-091----) lies c. 280m to the SW.
