What is recorded here

Faunarooska is a subcircular stone ringfort on an east-facing ridge shelf above the Rathborney River valley in County Clare. Its wide wall spread still holds scattered facing stones, while two slab-lined gaps in the north wall suggest an entrance. The cashel sits within a multiperiod field system, exposing broad views from northeast to southwest and preserving the shape of an old defended or occupied place.
