On an island in the Gort River within Gort town. Fahey (1893, 15, 174) noted that the 7th-C King Guaire had a ‘palace’ here, known as ‘Gort insi Guaire’. Presumably it was an earthwork, possibly a ringfort, although no details of its form or extent are known. Not precisely located. The 18th-C military barracks (GA122-097002-) were subsequently built on its site (ibid., 15). The ITM coordinates provided here are only indicative of its general location based on the available evidence.
