What is recorded here

On a N-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (E-W 30m) defined by a drystone wall from W through N to E. A field boundary cuts the monument at E and W, and no visible surface trace survives to S of it. Traces of an external earthen bank at N are possibly associated. 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
