Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined circular cashel in County Galway, Ireland, hiding beneath a later field wall. It sits eighty metres south of another enclosure, suggesting a small cluster of human activity rather than a lonely marker. The radiating boundaries imply the site remained useful long after its original purpose faded.
Some 80m S of an enclosure (GA042-135----). Very poorly preserved circular cashel (D 33m) defined by a drystone wall overlain throughout by a field wall. A number of field boundaries radiate from the monument. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
