What is recorded here

Twenty-four metres of stone and earth rise from the Clare karst, marking a boundary where human ambition met stubborn geology. The low bank encloses a slightly undulating platform where a kidney-shaped hollow and small mound still whisper of forgotten uses. Wide views stretch across rough pastureland, inviting speculation about who watched the horizon or kept livestock from the rocky edge. The fort remains neither fully explained nor fully dead, holding its shape against time and forgetting.

On a rise in rough pastureland and karstic outcrop, with wide views and within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). A subcircular platform (24m N-S; 20.5m E-W) defined by a low stone and earth bank (av. Wth 2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.35-1.15m). At NNW the bank is very slightly lower and there is a poorly defined ramp-like feature up to it from the exterior. At SE several metres of the bank have been reduced to a scarp; some loose rubble lies scattered about here. The cashel interior undulates slightly, sloping gently to the S. A kidney-shaped hollow (7m NW-SE; 4.9m NE-SW; D 0.3m) lies just inside the N perimeter and a small oval mound (L 3.5m NW-SE; 1m NE-SW; H 0.15m) lies near the W edge.
