What is recorded here

Forty feet across on a Galway hill, the ringfort keeps its shape because people kept it clean. A low bank, a cut ditch, a southern gap wide enough for a cart or a dancing crowd, and broken stone lining the inside are all still visible. Local tradition calls it a fairy fort, which means the ordinary explanation and the wonderful one are no longer easy to separate.

On the summit of a low hill in tillage. Well-preserved circular rath (diam. 38m) defined by a bank and external fosse. Traces of an inner stone revetment are visible intermittently. There is a stone-lined causewayed entrance gap (Wth c. 2.5m) at S. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 January 2017

A well-preserved earthen ringfort (fairy fort) on a low hill in Caherglassaun, featuring a circular bank and external fosse with traces of an inner stone revetment and a stone-lined causewayed entrance. Likely dating to the early medieval period, it is associated with local folklore of fairy hauntings and otherworldly connections common to such sites in Irish tradition.
