Indicated

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a D-shaped fairy fort in County Galway, its collapsed bank and scarp still drawing a shallow circle across level grassland. The straight southwest edge cuts through grass while overgrowth swallows the rest, suggesting a place where human hands and fairy mischief both shaped the earth.
In level grassland. This poorly preserved D-shaped rath (41.3m N-S; 38.3m E-W), with a straight SW side, is defined by a collapsed bank of earth and stone, which is obscured by overgrowth from NW through E to S. Elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 March 2018
