What is recorded here

Cashlaun Feecul is a castle in Tobermina, County Galway. The exact shape and purpose of the building have been lost, but the site still stands within the ancient boundary of a ringfort. That much is clear. What is missing is the life that filled the room, the hands that built it and the reason it was made strong enough to be called a castle.
Within a ringfort (GA043-129001-). Named 'Ruins of Castle Freeky' on OS Fair Plan. All that survives is a very poorly preserved rectangular structure (L 8m, Wth 5m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall. No architectural features are visible. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
