Not ndicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Not ndicated is a well-preserved oval cashel in County Galway, Ireland, where a drystone wall still stands tall from ESE through S to WSW. Inside, a grass-covered stone wall cuts north to south beside a rectangular shelter that may have housed animals or hidden something else entirely. The shape is clear enough to walk, measure and imagine without inventing what the stones have already stopped saying.
Well-preserved oval cashel (56.7m NE-SW; 38.9m ENE-WSW) defined by a drystone wall best preserved from ESE through S to WSW. From W through N to ESE a later field wall indicates the former line of the enclosing element. A gap (Wth 1.6m) at SSE may be modern. A grass-covered stone wall runs across the interior from N to S; adjoining it at SW is a grassed-over rectangular stone structure (GA128-022001-) that may be a later animal shelter.
