What is recorded here

Fairy forts are often called cashels, yet that is a mistaken identity. A cashel is a defensive ringfort built by people, while a fairy fort is an abandoned dwelling or ritual marker handed to the unseen. The distinction matters because it changes what the stones witnessed.

In pastureland. Subcircular cashel (41.5m E-W; 33.8m N-S), in fair condition, defined by a drystone wall. A field wall has been built against it but does not entirely obscure it as original external wall-facing is visible in places.
