What is recorded here

Laghtyshaughnessy holds a broken stone ring on a rocky hill, its single course of boulders still marking a circle wide enough for a small household. The southern gap and faded western line suggest age, neglect or later reuse rather than sudden disaster. A field system lies nearby, implying that this was not a forgotten oddity but a lived edge of ordinary work. The fairy fort name may be local mockery or local truth, yet the stones still describe a place where someone chose to stand apart.

On a hill in an area of rock outcrop. Very poorly preserved subcircular cashel (27.5m NW-SE; 26m NE-SW) defined by a single course of limestone boulders from N through E to SW; elsewhere the line of the monument is preserved in a later field boundary. A gap at S appears to be modern. A field system (GA128-059001-) lies to the E. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 January 2018
