What is recorded here

Ancestral castle: ringfort and cashel, not a fairy tale. Thirty-two metres of grass and stone in Clare, with a hidden passage at the north-west and a smaller fort joined east. The woods still keep its shape, but human hands made it, and memory has only smoothed the edges.

Situated in a forested area in undulating landscape. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 32.15m E-W; 29.3m N-S) defined by the remnants of a stone spread (Wth 4-5m; H 0.3-0.7m) with outer facing stones intermittenly visible and a drystone wall on the perimeter NW-N. A Man-made underground passage (CL033-031002-) is in the NW quadrant, and a cashel (CL033-031003-) is conjoined to the E. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 May 2016
