What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular cashel on a Galway rise, its drystone wall still standing though bushes and rubble now hide much of the shape. Redington wrote of an underground passage and a western annexe, but neither remains visible, leaving the fort half-remembered and slightly unfinished. It is the kind of place where the land keeps more than it shows.

On a prominent rise in tillage. Circular cashel (diam. 23.2m), in fair condition, defined by a drystone wall much obscured by bushes and field-clearance rubble. A gap at NNW appears to be modern. Redington (1916a, 54-5) refers to a Man-made underground passage (GA096-036001-) in N half of the interior and also a possible annexe on W side of the monument. The latter (28.3m x 22.8m) was defined by a 'thick' wall (Wth 2.4-2.7m). No visible surface trace of these features survives.
