What is recorded here
Caherhebrick Fort is a 35-metre circular cashel on a Galway grassland rise, its drystone wall surviving only from north to east while a natural scarp completes the circle elsewhere. A second ringfort sits three hundred metres east, suggesting two households or twin purposes on the same ridge. Field boundaries now cut through the northeast and southeast, proving the fort has long served as a neighbour rather than a mystery.
On a rise in grassland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (D 35m) defined by a drystone wall from N to E; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A field boundary cuts the monument at NE and SE. A ringfort (GA028-045----) lies c. 300m to E.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
