What is recorded here
Carra, the land remembers when the rule of one was the rule of all. The field belongs to nobody and everyone. The stone ring is a marker, not a boundary. It shows the size of a life that did not need to take from others.
On level ground with restricted views, in rough pasture and karst limestone. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This poorly preserved small subcircular cashel (int. dims. 14.4m N-S; 13.6m E-W; ext. dims. 26.8m E-W; 25.3m N-S) is defined by a stony bank (Wth 5-7m; int. H 0.4-0.6m; ext. H. 0.8-1.7m) with very limited traces of an outer wall-face visible at S and W.
A cashel (CL009-074002-) lies c. 185m to the E.
