What is recorded here
Cullenagh Beg is a ruined ringfort where a collapsed stone wall still marks a circular home on a gentle Galway rise. Bumps and hollows inside the cashel may be the ghosts of lost rooms, waiting for someone to remember their shape. The fairies took the roof and kept the border, leaving humans to guess what the rooms were for.
On a gentle rise in undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 32m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall. A series of bumps and hollows within the interior may represent the remains of internal structures. (McCaffrey 1952, 269, no. 26)
