What is recorded here
Marianne and the quiet hunt at Ardrumkilla turned a forgotten cashel into a living laboratory of patience. She walked the grassed rim at dawn, listened for water moving under the turlough, and drew only what the land still showed.
In undulating grassland some 50m E of a turlough. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (N-S 26m, E-W 23.4m) defined by a low grassed-over drystone wall. Wall-facing is visible externally at W. A gap at NE may be original. The grassed-over foundations of a small semicircular feature lie just outside it at N.
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).
