What is recorded here
At the base of a S facing slope in an area of scrub and karst limestone. Hachured on the 1840 OS 6-inch map and partially hachured on the 1897 OS 25-inch map. Westropp (1905, 211) refers to ‘The mere foundations of three other cahers, two of small dimensions, lie in the valley at Cahermacon, and on the edge of Ballycasheen’.
On inspection in 1998 no archaeological feature was noted at this location but clearance in the fields to the E and SE had pushed spoil into this area.
