What is recorded here

Keamsellagh West holds a faded stone ring where human hands once broke ground and fairy hands may have finished the shape. The cashel measures twenty-eight metres across, but age and field work have softened its edge until the wall disappears beneath grass and boundary stones. What remains is a circular suggestion rather than a proud fortress, inviting imagination to complete what time has erased.

On a slight rise in grassland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 28.2m) defined by a grassed-over wall overlain by a field boundary from E through S to SW. Field-clearance rubble has been piled up in the NW quadrant of the interior. (McCaffrey 1952, 195-6, no. 71) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2018
