What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Pollnahallia, County Galway, is a 25-metre circular cashel whose drystone wall has collapsed at the south and been overlain by a field wall at the north. Grassland and field clearance obscure much of it, but a probable man-made underground passage remains within the interior. People may have lived, hidden or worshipped there before the wall gave way to pasture and forgetting.
