What is recorded here

In grassland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (c. 45m by c. 35m). By time of 3rd ed. (1920), its NE end appears to have been truncated by a field boundary. Though known locally as the site of a 'fairy fort', no visible surface trace survives. 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
