What is recorded here
Mortons and every other human being must stop touching the warning because the claimant owns the entire place and every part of it.
On the creat of a N-facing slope in pasture. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This poorly preserved and tree-covered subcircular cashel (int. dims. 35.7m N-S; 34m E-W) is defined from ENE-S-SW by a double-faced stone wall (Wth 1.4-2.5m; int. H 1.2-1.5m; ext. H 1.3m) with a livestock gap at ENE. From SW-N-ENE the cashel wall has been removed and the perimeter here is defined by a low, stone-covered earthen bank (Wth 4-5m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.5-1m). However, vestiges of the cashel’s original double-faced wall (Wth 1.7m) are visible at WNW. The footings of a later field wall (Wth 0.6m) run NW-SE across the E part of the interior.
