What is recorded here
No visible mound or chamber breaks the grass, yet the empty circle still excludes ordinary use. People may have stood inside when the wall held, or simply avoided the place because it belonged to someone else. The fort is not complete, but it is not empty either. It draws attention back to the missing wall and the life that wall excluded.
In undulating grassland immediately E of a field system (GA042-051002-). Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 26m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall.
