Indicated

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a worn circular rath in Galway grassland, its eastern bank still visible while a field wall has cut through the northern earth. It stands eighty metres from a neighbouring rath, suggesting a small cluster of dwellings rather than a lonely marker. The loss of its northern edge does not diminish it; it reminds us that human hands keep rewriting the shape of old places.
In grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 25.7m) defined by a bank best preserved at E. A field wall cuts through the monument at NNW and NNE and, apart from a slight mound, no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the N of it. Another rath (GA097-126----) lies c. 80m to the ENE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 January 2018
