Windhill fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

One hundred years young, the boy forgot the path home and fell beside the fort. He did not run or call for help. He watched the ridge hold its shape through rain and wind, then he joined that patience. The fort did not need a master because it had already become the hand that shapes visible things.

On a ridge in grassland. Oval rath (NNE-SSW 37m, WNW-ESE 30m), in fair condition, defined by a bank from S through W to NNE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
