What is recorded here

Gortnagroagh holds a fading oval cashel, forty-two metres long, where a grassed-over drystone wall still marks the east, south and north sides. The lost western edge has surrendered completely to rough scrubland and flooding water, erasing the shape that once defied the storm.

In rough scrubland prone to flooding. Very poorly preserved oval cashel (N-S c. 42m) defined by a grassed-over drystone wall from E through S to N; no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
