What is recorded here

No fairy ever danced there. A human hand laid a two-metre wall on a slight Galway rise, perhaps shielding a home or storing what rain threatened. Age and men broke that wall; a later wall rose above the first, then both surrendered to grass and forgetting. The circle is not lost so much as buried under living ground, waiting for someone to stop calling it mysterious and begin listening to what it kept.

On a slight rise in low-lying grassland. Very poorly preserved subcircular cashel (48m NE-SW; 42m NW-SE) defined by a traces of its foundation line from ESE to S to NNW. It is overlain by a later drystone wall. No trace survives from NNW to E; there is a silage pit in the N sector. The later wall is much-collapsed between NE and E. From W to NNW traces of the original wall (Wth c. 2.2m; ext. H 0.4m) are most clearly visible but it is overgrown with briars. Two sheds have been erected within the interior.
