What is recorded here

Wood Fort is a faded fairy ring in Galway grassland, two earthen banks and a shallow ditch circling thirty metres of forgotten life. Stone still faces the inner wall where south-west wind struck, but reclamation has bitten the outer bank and a house watches from forty metres away. The entrance gap points north-east, inviting people into a small world that may have held a family, a herdsman or a child learning the shape of home before maps existed.

In grassland. Poorly preserved circular ringfort (D 30m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is stone-faced at SSW and W. There is an entrance gap at NNE. Land reclamation has disturbed the outer bank. A house (GA042-194----) lies 40m to NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
