Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Pollnahallia

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Pollnahallia is a circular cashel in level Galway grassland. A drystone wall and western or northern revetment traces still mark the site, while grass hides the rest. The loss of shape may be why it became a fairy name, because the living boundary faded first.
In level grassland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 30m) defined by a drystone wall. Traces of revetment visible at W and N; elsewhere the enclosing element is grassed over. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
