What is recorded here

Kilcahill is a small townland in County Galway where a hidden field system still shapes the land. The story is not about a fairy fort or invented ancient claim. It is about a living place where people farmed, remembered and changed the landscape across generations.

Immediately SW of a ringfort (GA057-110001-). An oval enclosure was noted during aerial reconnaissance in 1968 (CUCAP AVM 100) and again in 1987 (ASGAP 383:19). It appeared to be of similar character to the ringfort, though somewhat smaller. The field in which it lay has since been reclaimed and no visible surface trace survives. A field system (GA057-110002-) is associated. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
