What is recorded here

Some 25m NW of a large enclosure (GA056-043001-). When inspected in September 1983 this poorly preserved circular cashel (D 35m) was defined by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 1.8m; H 0.3-0.4m) which was obscured by overgrowth. A field wall cut through the monument at NW and SE. On re-inspection in May 1991 it was noted that as a result of land clearance in the area field-clearance rubble was dumped against the external face of the E half of the cashel wall. 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. Updated by: Olive Alcock Date of revised upload: 14 August 2018 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 2/1991).
