What is recorded here

Thirty metres west of a larger cashel, a fifty-one metre stone ring has surrendered most of its wall to grass and forgetting. What remains is a shallow scar and two field walls crossing the interior like forgotten boundaries. The stones did not vanish in a day; they fell, were reused, or were buried under patience. A place this large does not assemble itself for nothing, yet human hands have abandoned it to the point where only the shape of absence is left behind.

Part of a complex of monuments; it lies c. 300m SW of a cashel (GA056-024001-). Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 51m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall in NE sector; only a slight scarp (H 0.3m) is visible from S to W and no surface trace survives at N. The interior is cut by two field walls. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
