Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Rusheeny (moycullen By.)

Corkernarusheeny Hill on the Moycullen side of Galway still holds a subcircular cashel, its drystone wall buried beneath a newer field wall. The name suggests fairies, but the shape and setting point to human hands building a defensible home or refuge on a sloping ridge. Another cashel lies close to the south, as if the hill once belonged to more than one household or one claim. The fort has lost little of its presence, even if people have stopped living inside it.
