What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballybaun, County Galway: a 33m circular cashel on a grassy rise, its drystone wall still standing in fair condition. Inside to the north lies a grassed-over stone structure, six metres long and two wide, possibly a house. The southeast gap may be the original entrance, while field walls cut through the southern edge. People may have lived there, herded there, or simply avoided it after dark.
