What is recorded here
Drumbulcaun holds a subcircular cashel forty metres wide, buried in Galway pastureland but still visible from space. It is a fairy fort in local story, yet human hands likely stacked those stones before folklore forgot the builders. The ring waits beneath grass and cattle, defeating both time and memory.
In pastureland. This roughly subcircular cashel (c. 43m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE) is clearly visible on Google Earth satellite imagery (© Google Earth, imagery dated 3/14/2016). It was identified and reported to the Survey by Jean-Charles Caillère.
