What is recorded here

In low-lying farmland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 40m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall best preserved from SE through S to NW. Elsewhere heavy overgrowth has obscured the enclosing element. A gap (Wth 7m) at NW may be modern. Within the interior, and just NNW of the centre, is an oval-shaped mound of collapsed stone. To S of this is a souterrain (GA122-004001-). Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 17 October 2016
