Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken stone ring in Galway pasture, traditionally named as a children's burial ground. Its wall survives only from southwest through north to south-southwest, leaving the rest hidden beneath grass and memory. That absence makes the circle feel less like a ruin and more like a threshold, inviting wonder rather than certainty.
In undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 22.5m) defined by a drystone wall from SW through N to SSE; no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. According to local information, this is traditionally believed to be a children's burial ground (GA104-120001-).
