Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Turloughkeeloge

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Turloughkeeloge stands in County Galway, Ireland. It is a circular cashel, thirty metres across, with a collapsed drystone wall nearly four metres wide but only sixty centimetres high. A later field wall crosses the older stones, and vegetation buries much of the shape. The site is poorly preserved, yet its round boundary still marks the ground where people built, lived or excluded others long before the current pasture.
In undulating pasture and tillage. Poorly preserved and heavily overgrown circular cashel (diam. 30m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 3.8m; H 0.6m) overlain by a later field wall. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 26 April 2018
