What is recorded here

Situated on a plateau, bordered at S by a cliff face, on the upper slopes of the Ox Mountains. A short distance W of a cashel (SL019-173----) is the remains of a second, apparently subcircular, enclosure (29m E-W; c. 24m N-S), defined from NE-S-W by ephemeral remnants of a stone wall, which may be the remains of a later field enclosure.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL019-255
