What is recorded here
Kilcreevanty holds a broken stone ring where human hands built and forgotten. Grass and thorns have swallowed most of the wall, leaving only a pale curve visible across the slope. The fort is no longer a fort in any useful sense, but it is still a shape that resistance made.
On a S-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved overgrown circular cashel (D c. 20m) defined by a grassed-over drystone wall from NW through N to SE. Elsewhere dense overgrowth obscures the enclosing element. A number of field walls cut the monument.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
