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.
On a steep W-facing rise surrounded by rock outcrop. Poorly preserved oval cashel (32m E-W; 25.5m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall.
