What is recorded here
In rough pastureland. Within the interior of a possible cashel (GA113-051----). Numerous small set stones, indicating graves aligned E-W, are visible as well as five slab-lined graves (L 1m; Wth 0.4m). Two of the latter are clearly visible in the centre of the interior, the other three are overgrown.

Possible early Christian or medieval burial site, given the alignment and slab-lined graves. Its association with a cashel suggests a defended settlement with funerary use, possibly of local tribal or monastic significance.
