What is recorded here

On the summit of a hill in grassland. This poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 44m) is defined by a robbed-out drystone wall; apart from a few external facing-stones, little of the wall survives. It is likely that material from it was subsequently reused in the construction of the Daly monument, which occupies a large area of the NE quadrant of the interior. This monument commemorates the hanging of a man in 1820. Traces of a possible house site (GA104-269002-) are visible to its E as well as the access point to a souterrain (GA104-269001-). (Holt 1910, 154-5; McCaffrey 1952, 250, no. 45) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 April 2018
