What is recorded here
Indicated is a subcircular cashel in County Galway pastureland, its substantial wall of small loose stones now completely overgrown with trees and bushes. The entrance gap faces east-southeast, waiting for footsteps that may have stopped coming centuries ago. What remains is not a ruin but a threshold, still marking the boundary between the lived world and the forgotten one.
In pastureland. This subcircular cashel (39m E-W; 36m N-S) is defined by a substantial wall (Wth 4-4.5m; H 0.5m) of small loose stones; no facing stones were evident internally or externally. There is an entrance gap (Wth 2.5m) at ESE (Cody 1989, 296-8, no. 121). The enclosing element is completely overgrown with trees and bushes.
