What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined oval cashel on a Galway ridge, its drystone wall still standing tall at the northeast while the rest has surrendered to grass. Inside, loose boulders mark a small rectangular house beside a shallow circular hollow, suggesting people once lived beneath the open sky. A separate semicircular enclosure abuts the main wall, perhaps belonging to the same forgotten community or perhaps serving some other purpose now lost. The ridge exposes every angle to weather and wonder, preserving only enough shape to prove the fort existed.

On the summit of a ridge in grassland. Poorly preserved oval cashel (NW-SE 50m, NE-SW 35m) defined by a drystone wall, best preserved from NNW to NE. In SSW sector of the interior, a rectangular structure (NW-SE; L 3.2m, Wth > 1m) defined by a line of loose boulders is probably a house. To E lies a small circular hollow (D 1.5m). Abutting the enclosing element at NE is a semicircular enclosure (E-W 22m, N-S 20m) defined by a drystone wall. It may be associated.
