Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Mulroog West

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Mulroog West, a circular cashel 16.8m across on a north-facing slope, now wears grass and gives up most of its shape. A field boundary cuts through its west sector, as if the living landscape took back what the stones could not hold. People may have stood inside it, marked it, or left it to the fairies; the collapse makes that likely rather than certain.
On a N-facing slope in improved pastureland. This poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 16.8m) is defined by a much-collapsed grassed-over drystone wall (Wth 2.1m; base Wth 7.2m; int. H 0.92m; ext. H 1.14m). A field boundary, running N-S, cuts through WNW sector of the monument. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 27 February 2018
