What is recorded here

Clearance and overgrowth may have swallowed the stones, but the fort still breathes beneath Tooreen West. Its wide ring, hidden wall and buried passage suggest a place where people went down instead of looking away. What is missing is not dead; it has simply stopped answering the surface.

In low-lying reclaimed pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 206, no. 117) as a circular ‘Stone fort’ (diam. c. 40m ext.) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.2m) that was obscured by bushes. Due to what appeared to be field-clearance rubble and dense overgrowth it was not possible to see any trace of the monument on the day of inspection. A Man-made underground passage (GA103-188001-) is associated. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 25 April 2018
