What is recorded here

On a rise in gently undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved subcircular cashel (E-W 36m, N-S 33m) defined from SSE to SW by a grassed-over drystone wall overlain by a field wall. Apart from a straight 9m length of wall, just inside the limits of the monument at W, no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives from SW to NW. From NW to SSE it is defined by a scarp. 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
