What is recorded here

On a gentle N-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 27.8m) defined by a drystone wall. A field wall cuts through it at N and SE and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the E of it. There is an entrance gap (Wth 1.8m) at SW which splays out towards the exterior. A grassed-over stony bank, running E-W, in the centre of the interior, may be the remains of an internal division. A possible souterrain (GA097-062001-) is associated. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 23 January 2017
