What is recorded here

Caherhenryhoe is a circular cashel on a Galway ridge where a collapsed drystone wall still catches the eye from the west. The uneven interior holds low stony banks that may mark later uses, while a possible underground passage waits in the south sector. The name invites fairy tales, but the stones belong to people who shaped a ridge into a defensible circle before time and grass softened the edge.

On a ridge in grassland. This poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 49m) was noted on an aerial photograph (GSIAP 525M). It is defined by a grassed-over collapsed drystone wall, best preserved from W to NNW where external wall-facing is visible. The interior is uneven with a number of low irregular N-S running stony banks crossing it; these may be later features. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (GA097-156----) in the S sector (SMR file). Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 January 2017
