What is recorded here

On SE shoulder of a low hill. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 43m); parallel running NW-SE field boundaries cut across it from N to E and from NW to SE. On inspection in August 1982 only very slight traces of the enclosing wall of a cashel (Wth 4.2m; int./ext. H 1.4-1.5m) were evident at NE and SW. On re-inspection in September 1991 due to dense overgrowth of ferns no visible surface trace survived. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 1 August 2019
