What is recorded here

On the S-facing slope of a prominent hillock. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 34m) defined by a low grassed-over drystone wall from SE to SW; a gentle scarp forms the enclosing element from SW to NE while a steeper natural scarp defines the E limits. Quarrying has occurred at NE. A children's burial ground (GA115-047----) lies in the S half of the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 January 2018
