What is recorded here
Cahernaglass is a 41.5m circular cashel, its drystone wall collapsed and overlain by later field walls, sitting 270m SE of another ringfort. The NE quadrant has gone wooded, swallowing the margin between inside and out. It may have been a dwelling, a boundary marker, or a place set aside for stories people stopped telling. What remains is a broken circle in working land, large enough to hold a household or a hypothesis.
Some 270m SE of a ringfort (GA058-038----). Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 41.5m) defined by a much-collapsed drystone wall, overlain by field walls from N to E and from SE through W to N. The NE quadrant of the interior is wooded.
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).
