What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Sheeaun, County Galway: an oval cashel about thirty-five metres long, its drystone wall collapsed and overlain by a later field wall, with a man-made underground passage in the north-west quadrant. It may have been a dwelling, a boundary marker, or a place where people went down into the earth when storms came. The scrubland has taken most of it back, but the passage still waits beneath the soil like a breath held underground.

In scrubland. This very poorly preserved oval cashel (c. 35m NW-SE; c. 25m NE-SW) is defined by a much-collapsed drystone wall that is overlain by a later field wall from N to E. Some facing-stones are evident from S to W. A NE-SW running field wall clips the monument from SE to SSW. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA128-072001-) in the NW quadrant of the interior.
