What is recorded here

That is the name of the old stone ring at Garraun, though no human fort is recorded there. The story says the fairies built it, which fits because the stones still stand like a hidden room waiting for guests.

Towards ESE end of a field system (GA044-058----); it sits on a rise. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (E-W 38m, N-S 35m) defined by a drystone wall overlain at S by a field wall. Within W sector of interior are traces of a wall (L c. 12m), running NE-SW, possibly the last vestiges of an internal division. Another ringfort (GA044-054----) S 300m to WNW. Repositioned since compilation of SMR. (CUCAP BDT 84) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
