What is recorded here
Cloonnahaha holds a collapsed stone ring on a gentle Galway rise, its twenty-nine metre circle reduced to scattered drystone and grass. The fort also contains a man-made underground passage in the west sector, suggesting people once built, entered and forgot the place rather than merely watching it decay. Fairy fort is the local name, but the visible work is human: stone cut, stacked and buried by time.
On a gentle rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (29m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall. A Man-made underground passage (GA128-035001-) lies in the WSW sector of the interior.
