What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined stone ring on an east-facing Galway slope, its collapsed wall still marking a wide circle above hidden ground. The fort stands in rough pasture beside a narrow boreen, large enough to suggest proud life but worn smooth by time. Its true strangeness lies below, where a man-made passage cuts through the centre like a forgotten breath. People may have entered that darkness to hide, worship or simply listen, leaving the surface empty for others to wonder about.

On a gentle E-facing slope in rough pastureland. This poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 46m) is defined by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 2.8m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.5m). A boreen skirts the perimeter from SE to SW. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA113-196001-) in the centre of the interior.
