  Description

  In level marshy grassland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (D 30m) defined by a collapsed grassed-over drystone wall from NE through S to WSW, and by a scarp from N to NE. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere due to quarrying. Centrally placed within the interior is a rectangular house (GA086-047004)(ESE-WNW; L 14m, Wth 6m) defined by a low drystone wall. There are opposing doorways in NE and SW sides, and traces of an internal division. Immediately to W is probable souterrain (GA086-047002-). Two banks radiate from the house at NW and S, and there is an L-shaped structure (E-W; L 3m, Wth 2m) c. 9.5m to N; possibly the remains of a second house (GA086-047005-). Another house (GA086-047003-) lies 40m to SSE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
