Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a subcircular cashel in rolling Galway grassland, its drystone wall still defining a space nearly forty metres across. Land-clearance tools have bitten into the south-east and south-west, yet the ring holds its shape like a breath paused mid-speech. A possible underground passage lies nearby, inviting wonder rather than certainty. The fort does not need praise; it waits for attention.
In rolling grassland. Subcircular cashel (39.3m NE-SW; 36.3m NW-SE), in fair condition, defined by a drystone wall. Land-clearance operations have damaged the monument at SE and SW. A possible Man-made underground passage (GA096-060001-) is associated. (Westropp 1919, 181; Cody 1989, 247-8, no. 75). Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 24 November 2017
