What is recorded here

Associated with a ringfort (GA057-121----). On 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1933) a small open circle appears at N limits of the hachures defining the cashel. What is visible is an almost square hollow (L/Wth 3m) cut into the outer face of the collapsed wall of the cashel. According to local information, a horse was buried in the 'cave' which was then infilled. 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
