What is recorded here

The story claims a fairy fort, but the measure is human: a stone cashel at the southwest corner of a plateau, overlooking a ten-metre ravine. Its wall has thinned into a spread of rock, widest at the north and partly rebuilt into a drystone boundary on the east and south. The hazel has closed around the remains, turning a made place into a hidden one.

At the SW corner of a plateau, overlooking the cliff face of a ravine immediately to the S and W (H. c. 10m), in dense hazel growth. This cashel (int. dims. 16.6m N-S; 15.1m E-W; ext. dims. 27.4m N-S) is reduced to a stone spread that is widest at N (Wth 8m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.7m). From E to S the spread material has been reused to build a drystone wall (H 1.3m) along the outer wall-face and here the spread is 3m wide. From S to NW the spread (Wth 2-2.5m) is flush with the interior but outer wall-facing is visible at the cliff edge. Field walls extend off it at NE, E and SE.
