What is recorded here
Indicated is a circular cashel in rolling Galway pastureland, its drystone wall widened by field-clearance rubble. A stile at the southwest edge may lead into a children's burial ground, suggesting the ring still marks a boundary between the living and the dead. Another cashel waits one hundred and fifty metres to the northwest, as if the land kept two chambers for its own private memory.
In rolling pastureland. This circular cashel (diam. 32.7m), in fair condition, is defined by a drystone wall on top of which field-clearance rubble has been piled. A stile has been built into the wall at SW, possibly to give access to a children's burial ground (GA104-103001-) in the interior. Another cashel (GA104-101----) lies c. 150m to the NW.
