Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken cashel in Galway grassland, its drystone wall surviving only from east through south to northwest while field walls cut across the ruins. The northern boundary has vanished entirely except for a faint curving shadow in the vegetation, suggesting the ring once closed but human hands or time erased the proof. What remains is a shallow oval of stones and memory, large enough to hold a small life but too damaged to confirm it did.
In level grassland. Poorly preserved irregularly shaped cashel (N-S c. 40m, E-W c. 30m) defined by a drystone wall from E through S to NW. A field wall cuts the monument at NW and NE, and only a faint curving vegetation mark, visible on aerial photograph (ASGAP 350:5A), indicates the former line of the enclosing element to N of it. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
