What is recorded here

Caher is a nearly circular fairy fort in low Galway grassland, its drystone wall surviving mostly from southeast through west while modern gaps split the rest. The name suggests something hidden or excluded, perhaps a place where people stopped speaking because the grass moved without wind. A second earthwork sits sixty metres west, large enough to have belonged to someone who watched the first circle rather than joined it.

In low-lying grassland. Almost circular cashel (D 50m) defined by a poorly preserved drystone wall best preserved from SE through S to W. Numerous gaps in the enclosing element appear modern. An earthwork (GA056-031----) lies c. 60m to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
