What is recorded here

Indicated is a forgotten ringfort on a Galway slope, its ancient wall hidden beneath later field boundaries except for one bare northern section. The interior has become a tangle of green where older and younger walls blend together, denying the place a clean edge. It is not a dramatic ruin but a lived-on landscape, human layers compressed into one quiet circle.

On a gentle S-facing slope. Poorly preserved circular cashel (D c. 35m) defined by a drystone wall visible only at NE; elsewhere it is overlain by a field wall. Within the interior, which is densely overgrown, are three ruinous field walls, probably modern. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
