What is recorded here

Cornacask rises above undulating grassland as a subcircular earthen ring, its bank still drawing a clear line against the land. The fort overlooks Ballaghdacker Lough, while two crannogs sit farther southwest, suggesting a settled landscape rather than a lonely marker. People may have lived there, tended grass, or avoided the fort because fairy names still warn against trouble.

On a rise in undulating grassland overlooking Ballaghdacker Lough to S. Subcircular rath (E-W 36.8m, N-S 24.2m), in fair condition, defined by a bank. A gap at W appears modern. Two crannogs (GA020-011----, GA020-001----) lie c. 320m and 500m to SW respectively. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
