What is recorded here

Bolisheen holds a circular cashel thirty-five metres across, built of drystone and now so overgrown that the wall hides beneath living green. It stands immediately east of another cashel, forming a small complex where human hands shaped stone before memory faded. A house sits beside it, suggesting the fort never fully released the land but still shadows the daily life of the people who live above it.

Part of a complex of monuments (GA056-024002-), it lies immediately E of another cashel (GA056-024005-). Poorly preserved densely overgrown circular cashel (D c. 35m) defined by a drystone wall. Traces of wall-facing are visible intermittently. A house (GA056-024006-) lies immediately to E.
