What is recorded here

Cahershanemaguire is a ruined circular cashel in Galway grassland, its stone wall buried under grass and hidden beneath a later field boundary. The fort is fifty metres across, with an entrance gap on the east and no visible trace from the north to east-northeast. It is the kind of place where human life disappeared so completely that the land itself forgot the shape of the building.

In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (D c. 50m) defined by a grassed-over drystone wall, no visible surface trace of which survives from N to ENE. The enclosing element is overlain throughout by a field wall. There is an entrance gap at E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
