What is recorded here

Cahermore is a massive stone ringfort on a Galway rise, its four-and-a-half-metre wall still standing though trees have swallowed the interior. The outer face remains sharp and proud while the inner structure has vanished into green darkness, suggesting the fort rejected human ownership and returned to the land. It is the kind of place where boundaries blur, where stone remembers more than people do, and where forgetting becomes the natural order rather than a tragedy.

On a rise in pastureland. Described by Cody (1989, 237-8, no. 67) as a subcircular cashel (27m E-W; 25m N-S) defined by a massive drystone wall (Wth 4.5m; max. ext. H 2.5). The well-built outer wall face survived but little of the inner wall-face was evident. The interior of the monument and most of the enclosing wall were overgrown with trees and bushes.
