What is recorded here
Indicated is a subcircular cashel on a gentle SW-facing slope in County Galway, Ireland. Its poorly preserved drystone wall stretches forty-one metres north to south and thirty-eight metres east to west, now partly hidden beneath a later field wall. A gap at the northwest edge may mark the original entrance, leaving the rest of the boundary blurred by time and reuse.
