What is recorded here

Indicated is a well-preserved subcircular cashel in County Galway, measuring 27.6 metres across gently undulating pastureland. Its drystone wall has been embellished by 19th-century field clearance and restoration, including a modern external staircase and a blocked western doorway. Two ruined field walls cut through the interior, suggesting the ringfort served living people long after its original purpose faded.
In gently undulating pastureland. Well-preserved subcircular cashel (27.6m NE-SW) defined by a drystone wall. The monument has been embellished by 19th-C field clearance and 'restoration'. Gaps at NE and W appear to be modern as is an external staircase leading from the gap at NE to the top of the cashel wall. The gap at W is now blocked by a mortared wall, within which there is a blocked-up doorway. Two ruined field walls cut through the interior from NNE to WNW and from SSE to S respectively.
