Knockaungal Fort

Knockaungal Fort is a large circular cashel in County Galway, measured at nearly fifty metres across before quarrying took part of its south-eastern wall. It sits on a gentle rise in rolling pasture, quietly losing itself to the landscape around it. The drystone enclosure once marked early Irish settlement and landholding, but now its full circuit is difficult to trace. What remains suggests something substantial, a place where human life moved through stone and grass long before the wall began to scatter.
