What is recorded here

Cashel is a circular stone ringfort in County Galway, Ireland. It stands thirty metres across with a two-metre drystone wall and four rectangular remains inside. The northern and southern structures may have been houses, while the central and western ones were likely remodelled into limekilns.

In level pastureland. Very well-preserved circular cashel (diam. 30m) defined by a drystone wall (H 2.25m; Wth 2.28m), which is faced both internally and externally with massive limestone blocks. It is partly obscured by field-clearance rubble at S. There is an entrance gap (Wth 2.15m at ESE. The remains of at least four rectangular structures are visible within the interior; those at N and S are contemporary with the cashel wall and may be house sites. Those in the centre and to the W appear to have been modified and remodelled as a limekilns.
