What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken stone ring on a Galway knoll, watching the Owenglin river and a narrow pass where trouble must either climb or be seen coming. Its wall has surrendered much of itself to the ground, yet two faint hut shadows remain inside, large enough for people and small enough to keep secrets. The fort never needed to be grand; it needed to be unavoidable, and height still does that work for it.

On a high rocky knoll overlooking a narrow pass, and the Owenglin river, to N. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (E-W 27m, N-S 24m) defined by a much-collapsed drystone wall, best preserved ESE-WNW. The remains of two poorly defined huts occupy the interior. (Info. M. Gibbons.) Not visited. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.
