What is recorded here
Killaguile holds a collapsed rectangular cashel where a stone house still touches the inner wall, proving people lived there before folklore arrived. The fairies came later, borrowing the ruin and refusing to leave it empty.
On W slope of a ridge to SE of Carrowndulla Lough. Poorly preserved rectangular cashel (L 23.8m; Wth 22m) defined by a much-collapsed grassed-over drystone wall. Possible entrance at SSW. Abutting the inner face of the wall at W is a rectangular house (L 10.9m, Wth 7.8m).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
