What is recorded here

Cahernaglass is a ruined ringfort in County Galway grassland, its thirty-five metre stone wall collapsed from northeast through east to southwest while a road boundary cuts across the remains. Another ringfort sits two hundred and seventy metres southeast, suggesting a small cluster of fortified lives rather than a lonely outlier. The missing northwest section may have vanished under ploughs, foot traffic or time, but the surviving curve still marks where people once drew a line between inside and outside.

In grassland. Poorly preserved roughly circular cashel (D c. 35m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall from NE through E to SW. The td. boundary cuts the monument at NE and SW and no visible surface trace survives to NW of it. A ringfort (GA058-039----) lies c. 270m to SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
