Caherbeg

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

In level farmland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (diam. c. 27m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall, which is overlain from W to N by a field boundary. Redington (1916a, 52) refers to internal divisions within the interior but due to dense overgrowth they were not discernible. (McCaffrey 1952, 185, no. 92) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 9 January 2017
