What is recorded here

Caheranardrish holds a forty-metre stone ring where human purpose and fairy claim collide. The bank stands one to two metres high in places, swallowed elsewhere by pasture and time, its gaps uncertain whether built or broken. People may have lived inside, marked territory, or simply repeated a shape older than memory. The stones do not explain themselves; they wait for someone stubborn enough to listen.

Situated in low-lying marshy pasture. A sub-circular area (diam. 40m N-S by 37.1m E-W) enclosed by a single bank of dry-stone construction. The bank is denuded from N to SW (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.35m; Wth. 1.8m) whilst the remainder (int. H 0.9m; ext. H1.4m; Wth. 3.4m) has been incorporated into the surrounding field boundary system, and is masked in places by fallen trees and scrub overgrowth. The stone bank is constructed of un-bonded, un-hewn limestone with a rubble core, and has rough coursing on the faces. There is evidence of collapse to S and NNW. A gap in the SSW might be the original entrance (Wth. 1.2m). There are two more gaps; one in the N (Wth. 2m) and one in the NNW (Wth. 2m) both in the section of denuded bank.
