What is recorded here
Indicated is a subcircular cashel thirty-one metres across on a gentle Galway rise, its double-faced drystone wall still standing firm in pastureland. The southern gap may be modern, but the ancient ring remains clear enough to walk around and imagine inside. A field boundary curves beside it, marking the edge of human use without erasing the shape of the fort.
On a gentle rise in pastureland. Subcircular cashel (diam. 31m), in fair condition, defined by a double-faced drystone wall. A gap (Wth 3.2m) at SSW may be modern. A field boundary encircles the monument from SW to NW.
