What is recorded here

Half the ring vanished into quarry pits, but the surviving drystone arc still traces a thirty-metre circle in marshy Galway grass. Inside stands a long rectangular house with opposing doorways, flanked by faint banks and a possible underground passage. The lost section may have hidden chambers, or perhaps the earth simply reclaimed what people stopped maintaining.

In level marshy grassland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (D 30m) defined by a collapsed grassed-over drystone wall from NE through S to WSW, and by a scarp from N to NE. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere due to quarrying. Centrally placed within the interior is a rectangular house (GA086-047004)(ESE-WNW; L 14m, Wth 6m) defined by a low drystone wall. There are opposing doorways in NE and SW sides, and traces of an internal division. Immediately to W is probable Man-made underground passage (GA086-047002-). Two banks radiate from the house at NW and S, and there is an L-shaped structure (E-W; L 3m, Wth 2m) c. 9.5m to N; possibly the remains of a second house (GA086-047005-). Another house (GA086-047003-) lies 40m to SSE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
