What is recorded here

Toberacaher is a well inside a broken Galway ringfort, still dropping water while the stone wall around it has forgotten its own shape. The fort measures thirty-nine metres across, holds two grassed house shadows in its northern half, and keeps a southern gap wide enough for a cart or a decision. People may have drunk from that well before they stopped building the wall, which would make the water older than the pride that tried to own it.

In level grassland. Poorly preserved circular ringfort (D 39m) defined by a bank of collapsed stone and earth. A gap (Wth 3.5m) at S may be original. A well marked on OS 6-inch maps as 'Toberacaher' is located in SSW sector of the interior and appears to be secular in function. Also within the N half are the remains of two rectangular grassed-over stone structures (E-W; L c. 7m, Wth c. 6m); possible houses. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
