What is recorded here

You can still walk the narrow gap where the field wall leans against the old earth bank, but the wide Cashla enclosure has mostly given itself back to grass. Its flat-bottomed ditch remains clearest at the north edge, while smaller banks inside may have divided the place into rooms for people, animals or memory. The underground passage in the southwest quadrant suggests the site still hides a route no ordinary path admits.

In undulating grassland. A poorly preserved subrectangular enclosure (NW-SE 160m, NE-SW 120m) defined by a bank of earth and stone and an external fosse. The bank is overlain by a field wall from SE through W to N. The flat-bottomed fosse, which survives from S through W to N, is best preserved at N. In N half of the interior are a series of banks of similar size and form as the enclosing bank; possibly internal divisions. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA083-028001-) in SW quadrant.
