  Description

  In undulating grassland. Heavily overgrown roughly circular cashel (D c. 40m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall from W through N to S. Field-clearance rubble has obscured much of the enclosing element. A gap (Wth 3.1m) at SE may be original. In NW sector of the interior, a rectangular structure (L 7m), defined by a grassed-over stone wall, may be associated or related to a 'leacht' which the landowner said was located in this area. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
