What is recorded here

Manuslynn holds a thirty-six metre cashel where collapsed drystone and ordinary field wall combine to trap human life inside a circular border. A fourteen metre internal bank still divides the middle, suggesting the site separated people, property or ritual rather than merely excluding livestock. The names fairy fort and ringfort both point to the same uncertain shape, preserving the fact that its true function has faded while its structure remains visible in scrubland and rock.

In scrubland and rock outcrop. Almost circular cashel (D c. 36m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall from NW through N to SE. A field wall forms the enclosing element elsewhere. Within the interior, a bank of earth and stone (L 14.4m), long axis running N-S , is possibly the remains of an internal division.
