What is recorded here
Indicated is a ruined circular cashel on a Galway hillside, its drystone wall now hidden beneath grass. It may have been a farmstead, a refuge or a boundary marker, but time has erased the hands that built it. What remains is a faint line in the earth, waiting for someone to walk its edge and imagine the life that vanished.
On SE-facing slope of a low hill. Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 30.8m) defined by a grassed-over drystone wall.
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).
