Indicated

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a worn oval ringfort in Galway grassland, reduced to a low earth bank that a passing road has cut in two. It is the kind of place where human life may have hurried past without noticing its own shape, leaving behind a faint circle instead of a clear answer.
In level grassland. Poorly preserved oval ringfort (N-S 40m, E-W 38m) defined by a low bank of earth and stone. A road cuts the monument at E. There is a CBG (GA043-088001-) within the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
