What is recorded here

Cahernaglass holds two oval forts, one above the other in memory, though only broken stone remains visible. The larger measure suggests a place big enough for pride, while the smaller one beside it suggests a household that watched, waited or belonged to someone else. That much can be seen; the rest belongs to imagination.

In level grassland. Poorly preserved oval cashel (E-W 36.5m, N-S 33.9m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall, no visible surface trace of which survives from SW to WNW. The enclosing element is overlain by a field wall from E through S to SSW. A ringfort (GA058-041----) lies immediately S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
