What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined fairy fort in County Galway, marked by a grass-covered stone ring and hawthorn bushes rather than a standing wall. The site may have housed people, hidden children or simply tested the patience of everyone who walked past it.

In rolling grassland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 26.7m) defined by a low drystone wall which is best preserved at S (Wth 1.55m; H 0.5m); elsewhere it survives as a grassed-over stony bank. Field-clearance rubble has been piled against the enclosing element at E and W and hawthorn bushes are growing around its perimeter.
