What is recorded here
On a rise in undulating rough pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 193, no. 101) as an extremely ruinous circular ‘Stone fort’, this cashel (diam. c. 24m) is very poorly preserved and is defined by the intermittent foundation line of a drystone wall. A NNW-SSE running field wall cuts across it from NW to SSW. A rectangular structure (L 3.3m; Wth 1.5m), defined by a collapsed wall, abuts it at E.
