What is recorded here

Pollcragh Fort is a subcircular cashel on a gentle NE-facing slope in County Galway, defined by two collapsed grassed-over drystone walls and an intervening fosse. The interior holds a rectangular house and a man-made underground passage to its west, while a stone-lined hollow in the SE sector may have been a limekiln. Field walls now cut across the ancient structure, blending human layers into one quiet, overgrown landscape.

On a gentle NE-facing slope in pastureland and rock outcrop. This subcircular cashel (33.5m E-W; 30m N-S), in fair condition and partially obscured by overgrowth, is defined by two collapsed grassed-over drystone walls and an intervening fosse. The fosse and outer wall survive only from SE to S. In the centre of the interior is a rectangular house (GA113-147002-), to the W of which lies a Man-made underground passage (GA113-147001-). A stone-lined hollow, possibly a limekiln, is visible in the SE sector. A field wall cuts across the cashel from ENE to W and another wall, running N-S, cuts across its NW quadrant.
