What is recorded here
Bullaun holds three cashels within a few hundred metres, as if the land refused to choose one owner or one purpose. The smallest is a broken ring, twenty-seven metres across, with a field wall laid across part of its edge and soil stripped from the rest. It is not grand, but it is company. People may have lived there, or marked it, or simply walked past it until the stones became a story about themselves.
Some 200m SW of a ringfort (GA057-054----). Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 27.3m) -defined by a drystone wall from E through S to W. The enclosing element is overlain by a field wall from W to N and is obscured by field clearance from N to E. A ringfort (GA057-056----) lies 30m to SE.
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).
