What is recorded here
Caheravoley holds a broken circular cashel forty metres across, its drystone wall collapsed into the earth near the southern edge of an old field system. The land boundary cuts through the remains at north west and south east, leaving no visible trace to the south west. Whatever life moved inside that circle has vanished, but the shape still resists forgetting.
Near S extremity of an extensive field system (GA057-067002-). Very poorly preserved circular cashel (D 40.8m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall. The td. boundary cuts the monument at NW and SE and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to SW of it.
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).
