What is recorded here
On a S-facing slope in undulating pastureland, in an area of outcroping rock. A disused quarry lies c. 50m to NW. The rock outcrop to N of the monument has been cleared as a result of recent land reclamation. Very poorly preserved subcircular cashel (N-S 36m, E-W 33m) defined by a drystone wall best preserved from W to N; elsewhere it is grassed over. Rock outcrop is visible within the interior as well as a number of grassed-over foundation lines.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
