What is recorded here
Indicated is a ruined stone ringfort on a Galway hillside, its collapsed wall marking a shallow circle where human hands once shaped the earth. The stones have scattered, the boundary blurred, yet the fort still points inward like a forgotten invitation. What is indicated is not a fact but a shape: a life lived inside stone, now returned to grass and rain.
On SE slope of a hill. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (NW-SE 26.6m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
