What is recorded here
Indicated is a circular cashel on a low rock rise in County Galway, its forty-two-metre drystone wall still standing from west through north to east. Modern field walls now cover parts of the ancient edge, and a straight internal wall divides the inside into two unequal lives. The stones have watched seasons, herds and forgotten choices for centuries, waiting for someone to remember why the circle was drawn.
On a low rise in rock outcrop. Circular cashel (diam. c. 42m), in fair condition, defined by a
drystone wall best preserved from W through N to E. The enclosing element is overlain by a modern field wall at E and SW. The interior is divided by a N-S running field wall.
