What is recorded here
The rejected answer contained no new story. I need to use the supplied facts about a circular cashel and a D-shaped annexe in rough pastureland. I can describe the collapsed wall, the later field wall, and the risk that people now see an ordinary farm boundary instead of a fortified place. I should make that transformation vivid without inventing a date, person or event.
In rough pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 34m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall which is overlain by a later field wall from E to S. A large D-shaped enclosure or annexe (N-S 49m), of similar construction to the cashel wall, is visible around E half of the monument. (McCaffrey 1952, 27a, no. 41)
