What is recorded here

Laneways cut through both walls and a field wall crosses the interior, yet the twin drystone rings still mark a 36.2-metre cashel in Galway scrubland. The fort has been reduced to fragments, with inner wall surviving best from north to south-south-east and outer wall visible only from north to east. What is left is a wounded circle: part road, part boundary, part forgotten room where human life once turned the stone into shape.

In scrubland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 36.2m) defined by two collapsed drystone walls. A laneway cuts through the monument at N and S. The inner wall is best preserved from N to SSE; some outer wall-facing is evident from N to E. No visible surface trace survives from SE to WSW and a field wall overlies it from SSW to WSW. The outer wall only survives from N to E. A field wall cuts through the interior at E. (McCaffrey 1952, 187, no. 54) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 January 2017
