What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined ringfort on a low Galway hill where floodwater still erases its eastern edge. Massive limestone blocks form an unbroken arc from southwest through north to northeast, but a narrow boreen cuts the circle and the southeast wall has vanished entirely. The fort exists only where the land remembers it, losing itself to water and forgetting its own shape.

On a low hill in scrubland subject to flooding. Roughly circular cashel (D 32m) defined by a drystone wall, composed of massive limestone blocks, from SW through N to NE. A boreen cuts the monument at NE and SW and no visible surface trace survives to SE of it. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
