What is recorded here
Fairy fort and stone ringfort in Castletaylor South, County Galway, Ireland. In level grassland, formerly within Castletaylor Demesne. Very poorly preserved oval cashel (42m N-S; 32m E-W) defined at W by a low spread of rubble with intermittent traces of the outer wall-face. Elsewhere a degraded scarp forms the enclosing element. A children's burial ground (GA104-282----) is associated. A low foundation line of boulders and rubble, aligned E-W, is visible in the interior at W. It may be an internal division.
