What is recorded here

Gortnavad-doge Fort is a ruined circular cashel in Galway grassland, its collapsed drystone wall still standing tallest at the southeast edge. An elongated stone mound lies nearby, perhaps belonging to the same forgotten hands that built the ring. The name itself sounds like a joke the land is telling, yet the stones remain steady beside another fort only thirty metres away.

In grassland and rock outcrop. Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 36m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall best preserved at SE. An elongated mound of grassed-over stone (N-S 7m, E-W 2.5m, H 0.8m) lies immediately to NE and may be associated. A ringfort (GA042-190----) lies 30m to SE.
