What is recorded here

Caherminnaun West holds a small rectangular enclosure on a pasture rise, marked clearly on maps from 1842 to 1920. Its low earth and stone bank still stands beside a nearby cashel and holy well, suggesting the field has served human life for generations. The eastern side has ragged with time, but the western curve and southern stones remain visible beneath the grass.

On a rise in undulating pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This small subrectangular enclosure (int. dims. 16.3m N–S; 15.5m E–W) is defined by a low grass-covered earth and stone bank (Wth 2.2–2.8m; int. H 0.2–0.4m; ext. H 0.4–1.1m). A drystone field wall (H 0.4–0.6m) has been built on top of the N side of the bank. The E side is damaged and ragged in outline. A row of stones marks the outer edge of the S side. The W side is slightly curved. Outside the SE corner a hole (diam. c. 4m; max. D 0.8m) has been filled with field stones. A cashel (CL009-059004-) lies c. 70m to the WSW and there is a holy well (CL009-059010-) c. 73m to the NNE. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 7 March 2022
