Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Cloghroak

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Cloghroak, County Galway. Thirty-nine metres of forgotten wall, flattened by plough and pride. What remains is a bruised arc of stone in grazing land, and a blocked passage waiting beneath the grass. The fort is gone but the shape is not; it still turns the field into a room.
In rough grazing land. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 39.3m); all that survives is the arc of a collapsed drystone wall at W. The monument was levelled due to field clearance. A blocked-up Man-made underground passage (GA104-116001-), lies within the SW quadrant of the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 29 November 2017
