What is recorded here

Garraunard holds a faded oval cashel where a grassed wall and sharp scarp still draw an incomplete circle across marginal Galway grassland. A central drystone line splits the inside like a forgotten room divider, while a nearby cattle shed and cutting field walls suggest the place has long served ordinary life rather than heroic memory. The chamber may have housed people, excluded herds, or simply marked a boundary nobody recorded.

In marginal grassland. Very poorly preserved oval cashel (N-S 56m, E-W 47.5m) defined by a grassed-over drystone wall, except from N to E where a scarp forms the enclosing element. A NE-SW running drystone wall, centrally placed within the interior, may be an internal division. There is a cattle shed to NE of it. A field wall cuts the monument at N and S.
