What is recorded here

Limamoltaun is a broken fairy fort in Galway grassland, its twenty-four-metre circle scarred where stone was taken. The remaining earth ridge still traces the shape of a home, kitchen or temple lost before memory. People may have lived there, feared there or simply passed by, but the land kept the outline long after the hands departed.

In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 24m) defined by a scarp which has been quarried out at NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
