What is recorded here
Indicated is a broken oval cashel on a Galway hilltop, its dry stones barely visible beneath grass and forgotten time. The wall survives only from east to south-southwest, suggesting a circle now surrendered to the sky. Whatever lived inside has vanished without trace, leaving behind a shape large enough to hold people and quiet enough to erase them.
On a hill summit in grassland. Very poorly preserved oval cashel (N-S 37m, E-W 32m) defined by a dry stone wall best preserved from E to SSW.
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).
