Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Crannagh (kiltartan Ed)

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Crannagh holds a ruined stone ring where later field walls straddle the remains of an older cashel. The subcircular outline still measures twenty-five metres across even though much of the drystone enclosure has collapsed into the level farmland. People may have lived, hidden or marked time within that broken circle before the land was divided again.
In level farmland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (25m NE-SW) defined by a collapsed drystone wall except from NNW to N where no visible surface trace survives. The enclosing element is overlain by later field walls. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 1 December 2017
