What is recorded here

Galway folklore claims a buried giant sleeps beneath that collapsed wall, waiting for a thunderstorm to break free. The stone ring sits on a hillside like a forgotten jaw, its underground passage still breathing cold air despite centuries of neglect. People may have built the fort to keep the giant dormant, stacking rocks until pressure sealed his mouth.

On SW slopes of a hill. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (E-W 25m; N-S 23.2m) defined by a much-collapsed drystone wall, overlain from S to WSW by a modern field wall. There is a Man-made underground passage in the interior (GA054-014002-) and also a local tradition of a CBG (GA054-014001-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
