What is recorded here

Glasha Fort was a thirty-metre cashel in County Clare pastureland, destroyed after 1878 but still named on the 1897 map. Its slight scarp remains visible in satellite imagery, marking the ghost of a wall that once held life, shadow and purpose. The land remembers the shape even when the stones no longer stand.

In undulating pastureland and limestone pavement. Hachured and named 'Glasha Fort’ on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Named ‘Glasha Fort (Site of)’ on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan. This levelled subcircular cashel (est. diam. c. 30m) is defined by a very slight and intermittent scarp, partly visible in satellite imagery (OSi MapGenie 2013-2018). This cashel was destroyed at some point after 1878 (Westropp 1905, 355). Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 10 January 2023
