What is recorded here

Caheradine is a ruined stone ringfort in County Galway where a family once lived, herded cattle and marked its boundary before the name itself faded into pasture. Its circular wall still holds a ghost of shape, and an underground passage cuts through the northern half like a hidden breath. The field wall above may have swallowed the old fort rather than replaced it, suggesting people kept using the same ground long after they stopped seeing the first building.

In level pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 31.3m) defined by a drystone wall. A field wall overlies the enclosing element throughout. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA096-022001-) in the N half of the interior.
