What is recorded here
Indicated is a fifty-metre circular cashel in North Galway, still standing with a drystone wall amid grass and rock. Field boundaries radiate from it like spokes on a wheel, suggesting the fort remained the centre of local life long after its building stopped being news. It is the kind of place where ordinary farms still orbit an older, forgotten core.
In grassland and rock outcrop. Circular cashel (D c. 50m), in fair condition, defined by a drystone 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).
