What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Loughcurra North is a circular cashel about 25 metres across on a rise in rough pastureland in County Galway, Ireland. Its drystone wall has collapsed from the southwest through the west to the northwest, while the eastern and southern line still shows beneath a later field wall running northeast to southwest. People may have lived there before the stones fell into grass and shadow, but no clear name or date remains in the facts provided.
On a rise in rough pastureland. This poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 25m) is defined by a much-collapsed drystone wall from SW through W to NW. From E to S its line is visible beneath a later field wall that runs NE-SW.
