What is recorded here

Indicated is a subcircular fairy fort on a Galway grassland rise, its drystone wall still standing after centuries of rain and forgetting. The southern and north-eastern gaps look modern, as if someone cut doors through an old dream rather than building them. Inside, vegetables grow in disturbed earth, turning a forgotten stronghold into a living kitchen. The fort has stopped resisting time and started feeding people.

On a rise in grassland. Subcircular cashel (N-S 41m, E-W 35m), in fair condition, defined by a drystone wall obscured along NE by dense overgrowth. Two gaps, at S and NE, appear modern. The interior is disturbed and used as a vegetable garden. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
