Indicated

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined circular cashel in County Galway, its drystone wall partly swallowed by a later field boundary and dense interior growth. The site sits 180m SW of another enclosure, preserving the shape of a fort rather than the life of its makers. It is the kind of place where human urgency has faded into vegetation, leaving only a faint line for the eye to find.
Some 180m SW of an enclosure (GA056-116----). Poorly preserved almost circular cashel (D c. 44.5m) defined by a drystone wall, overlain by a field wall from SW through W to NW. The interior is densely overgrown. 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
