What is recorded here

On a hilltop in grassland. Poorly preserved much-overgrown oval cashel (N-S c. 46.7m) defined by a drystone wall best preserved at NE. Some 25m from the enclosing element are the remains of a second cashel-like wall, suggesting an outer defence. It is best preserved at NW and NE and is disturbed elsewhere by farm buildings. An uncertain castle (GA043-129002-) lies within the interior. 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
