What is recorded here

Creggowny Fort is a circular cashel in County Galway, Ireland. It is a fairy fort in local story, a place where human history and imagination overlap. The stone ring stands on a south-facing slope, enclosing a small world of grass, shadow and memory. People may have lived there, feared there or simply wondered about it. The fort still holds that wonder, waiting for someone to walk its edge and listen.

There is a Man-made underground passage (GA104-058001-) in the SW quadrant of the interior.(McCaffrey 1952, 216-17, no. 92) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 6 January 2017

Creggowny Fort, Ballyshea is a circular cashel, likely dating to the early medieval period, characterized by a drystone wall and an internal man-made underground passage. Local tradition may associate such sites with fairy lore, as cashels were often believed to be the dwellings of the "good people" in Irish folklore.
