What is recorded here
Indicated is a subcircular cashel in low-lying Galway grassland, its overgrown drystone wall still marking a space nearly thirty metres across. The name itself points at the shape: a ring visible in the field, not hidden beneath soil or legend. People may have lived there, tended it, or abandoned it when the land changed, but the wall remains clear enough to walk around and imagine.
In low-lying grassland. Subcircular cashel (N-S 29.3m, E-W 28.1m), in fair condition, defined by an overgrown 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).
