What is recorded here
Indicated is a ruined circular cashel on a south-facing Galway slope, its drystone wall buried under centuries of field rubble. Two other cashels sit nearby, suggesting a small cluster of dwellings rather than a lone fairy fort. The stones may have supported ordinary lives, herds and hearths before livestock and ploughs smoothed the edge into pasture.
On a S-facing slope in pastureland. Very poorly preserved roughly circular cashel (diam. 23.7m) defined by a drystone wall, which is obscured by field-clearance rubble, from N through E to SW. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. Another cashel (GA104-103----) lies 150m to the SE.
