What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope in grassland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (D 38m) defined by a drystone wall reduced to a rubble spread and overlain by a field wall at NE. The wall is best preserved at SW where inner and outer wall-facing survive. According to local tradition, there is a 'cave' (possible souterrain) within the interior; no visible surface trace survives. A ringfort (GA056-091----) lies c. 80m to NNW. 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
