What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope in grassland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (D 38m) defined by a drystone wall reduced to a rubble spread and overlain by a field wall at NE. The wall is best preserved at SW where inner and outer wall-facing survive. According to local tradition, there is a 'cave' (possible Man-made underground passage) within the interior; no visible surface trace survives. A ringfort (GA056-091----) lies c. 80m to NNW. II - North Galway'.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA056-090
