What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Drumbane is a poorly preserved subcircular cashel on a south-facing grassland slope in County Galway, Ireland. Its dry stone wall and degraded scarp still mark most of the circle, while the west has disappeared under time and fields. A field wall cuts through the southeast and a small cairn sits inside, as if the place kept changing shape long after people stopped building it.

On a S-facing slope in grassland. Very poorly preserved originally subcircular cashel (N-S 42m) defined by a dry stone wall at S, and by a degraded scarp from N through E to S. No visible surface trace survives at W. A field wall cuts the monument at SE. A field-clearance cairn lies within the interior. An enclosure (GA005-046----) lies c. 200m to W.
