What is recorded here
Three clochans sit east of the cashel in Baile Na Bhfionnúrach, two joined like a figure of eight. They are not decorative; they belong to the entrance, the defense and the daily life of the place. The stones still mark a boundary someone learned by heart.
'To the east of the cashel [KE034-041----], immediately south of the entrance, are the remains of three cloghauns [KE034-041003-, KE034-041004-, KE034-041005-] roughly in a row, two are conjoined in a figure of eight. A direct relationship between the cloughans and the cashel cannot be discounted' (Gibbons 1998, 81).
