What is recorded here

Caher is a ruined stone ringfort in County Galway, its walls collapsed into pasture and rubble. The fort measures thirty-eight metres north to south and thirty-two metres east to west, with low internal banks and a possible house site in the north-west quadrant. It is a fairy fort in local naming, but the stones mark human occupation: a defended or enclosed settlement reduced by time and field work. What remains is enough to see the shape of the place and imagine the lives that moved within it.

In level pastureland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (38m N-S; 32m E-W) defined by two collapsed drystone walls which are partially obscured by field-clearance rubble. Within the interior are numerous low banks of earth and stone, which may be associated internal divisions. A possible house site (GA084-121001-) lies in NW quadrant.
