What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined cashel in County Galway, Ireland. Its collapsed wall and cutting field marks suggest people shaped the slope before memory faded. The stones still outline a circle, waiting for someone to walk inside and imagine the lives that turned it into a home.
On a W-facing slope. Poorly preserved almost circular cashel (D 30m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall. A field wall cuts the monument at NNW and SSE, to SW of which a scarp forms the enclosing element. A number of houses (GA057-154001-) are associated. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
