Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a collapsed oval cashel on a steep west-facing rise in County Galway, its drystone wall now scattered across rock outcrop. The fort measures thirty-two metres east to west and twenty-five and a half metres north to south, large enough to hold people, fire and fear. It may have watched the sea, hidden during storms or belonged to someone whose name dissolved before the stones did.
