What is recorded here

Caherglassaun lough watches a well-preserved earthen ringfort where a two-metre gap may mark the original entrance rather than decay. The bank rises fifteen metres across grassland, suggesting people shaped the land before the lough became the main feature in the local view. Its size is small enough to walk around quickly, yet large enough to exclude casual entry, which is why the fairy-fort name still fits the place.

In grassland overlooking Caherglassaun Lough to the S. Well-preserved subcircular rath (diam. 15.7m) defined by a bank best preserved from W through N to ESE. A gap (Wth 2m) at ENE may be original. A field boundary borders the monument to the NE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 January 2017
