What is recorded here
Indicated is a circular rath in County Galway, Ireland, where two banks of earth and stone still frame a hidden life. Grass and trees have reclaimed the fosse, yet the ring remains clear enough to walk around and imagine inside.
In reclaimed grassland. This circular rath (diam. 46m), in fair condition, is defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse which are visible all round and best preserved from S to W. Trees are growing around its perimeter and also within the fosse.
