What is recorded here

Part of a complex of monuments; it lies c. 300m SW of a cashel (GA056-024001-). Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 51m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall in NE sector; only a slight scarp (H 0.3m) is visible from S to W and no surface trace survives at N. The interior is cut by two field walls. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
