What is recorded here

Eighty metres from its neighbour, the first cashel in Carrowkeel still holds a shallow circle twenty-nine metres across, its drystone wall collapsed into grass except along the east and south. A two-metre gap at the east may be the original entrance, while a long stony bank across the north-east quarter suggests the interior was divided rather than left empty. Field walls radiate from the southwest, tying the fort into a working landscape where people, animals or memories still move through stone.

Within a field system (GA097-068003-) and c. 80m to the SE of another cashel (GA097-068001-). Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (29m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by a collapsed grassed-over drystone wall best preserved from E to S. There are numerous gaps in the enclosing element but that at E (Wth 2m) may be original. In the NE quadrant of the interior, a grassed-over stony bank (L c. 20m), running E-W, is possibly an associated internal division. Field walls radiating from the enclosing element at SW may also be associated. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 24 January 2017
