What is recorded here

Indicated is a Galway cashel where a tower house later occupied the southwest quadrant, turning the ancient ring into its own bawn wall. The drystone circle still holds its shape in level pastureland, marked by a possible southeast gap and faint building traces elsewhere. It may have begun as a ordinary fortified farm before becoming the outer wall of a taller residence, layering human ambition across centuries.

In level pastureland. This subcircular cashel (34m E-W; 30m N-S), in fair condition, is defined by a drystone wall with a possible entrance gap at SE. Traces of a linear wall (L 13m) running S from the W side of the gap may be associated with it. A tower house (GA113-058001-) was constructed in the SW quadrant of the interior and the cashel wall may have subsequently functioned as its bawn wall. A field wall cuts through the interior from roughly N to S. Traces of two buildings (GA113-058005- and GA113-058006-) are visible in the NE quadrant. House sites (GA113-058002-, GA113-058007-, GA113-058008- and GA113-058009-) are also visible to the SW. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 19 September 2017
