What is recorded here

Magic is not in this ring but in the shape of attention it invites. The chamber is an oval room with a western door, a southeast extension and a shallow eastern hollow. The facts remove fantasy; they do not remove wonder.

On a hillock c. 100m SE of a possible cashel (GA044-008----). Oval cashel (E-W 27.5m, N-S 23.6m), in fair condition, defined by a collapsed drystone wall with traces of wall-facing at S and NW. A gap (Wth 2.3m) at W may be original. Abutting the monument at SE is a rectangular area (L 7.8m, Wth 5.5m) defined by a bank of earth and stone, probably associated. Within NE quadrant of interior is an oval hollow (N-S; L 7.6m, Wth 3.6m) defined by a low bank at W, possibly the remains a house (GA044-013001-).
