Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined circular cashel in Galway grassland, its collapsed wall hiding a central underground passage and small cairn. The structure still suggests human occupation, though time has erased most of its shape. What remains is a faint invitation to imagine the lives that moved through its hidden depths.
In grassland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 36m) defined by traces of a collapsed drystone wall surrounded by a later field wall. Almost centrally placed within the interior is an inaccessible Man-made underground passage (GA122-021001-), immediately to N of which is a circular cairn (diam. 2.5m) which may be fairly modern. A possible house site (GA122-021002-) is evident in the SSE sector and another less substantial structure (L 6m; Wth 3m) is evident in the NE sector.
