Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Caerateige is a ruined ringfort on a flood-prone rise in Brackloon, County Galway. Its eighteen-metre cashel has lost most of its wall, leaving only broken drystone arcs from south-west to north-west and north-north-west to east. The missing part may have been a doorway, a collapse or simply time; the land keeps its own counsel.
On a rise in rough pastureland prone to flooding. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 18m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall from SSW to NW and from NNW to E; no trace survives elsewhere. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 6 January 2017
