What is recorded here

Thirty metres of packed earth still circle a SW-facing Galway slope, though the outer bank has surrendered to grass and time. The surviving inner ridge guards a two-metre eastern gap and hides a man-made passage beneath the western soil, inviting curiosity into darkness. Whether humans built the fort or something older merely wore that shape, the land still holds its breath behind the ridge.

On a SW-facing slope. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 245, no. 58) as a circular ‘Earthen fort’ (diam. c. 30m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse with an entrance gap (Wth c. 2m) at E. Only the inner bank survives from E through S to W. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA104-228001-) in the W half of the interior.
