What is recorded here

On a hillock in level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (N-S 46.2m, E-W 42m) defined by a grassed-over drystone wall with traces of an external batter at NNW. A field wall cuts the monument at NE and S. A grassed-over stony bank (L 34m), running NE-SW, through N half of the interior could be original. Built into the inner face of the enclosing element at NW are the foundations of a rectangular stone structure (NW-SE; L 11m, Wth 4m); possibly a house. 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
