What is recorded here

Stone Circle was a cashel in North Galway, large enough to hold a limekiln and people, but the land took it back before 1933. It vanished without a ridge, a hole or a memory strong enough to resist the pasture. What remained was a name and a shape on an old map, proving that even stone can be forgotten when nobody walks around it.

On level recently reclaimed pastureland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a slightly oval enclosure (c. 40m by c. 35m) but evidently gone by time of 3rd ed. (1933). No visible surface trace survives. According to local information, it was known locally as a 'cashel' and apparently contained a limekiln. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
