What is recorded here

No visible castle, no church tower, no royal claim. A round stone ring, broken and buried under pasture, sits inside a live field system still marked on old maps. People walked across it, built on it, and stopped seeing it as a fort. The fairy name is not a joke; it is the moment human memory slipped out and the place became owned by story instead of history.

On a gently S-facing slope, in hazel and rough pasture within a large multiperiod field system (CL009- 059001-). Hachured on the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This poorly preserved circular cashel (ext. dims. 19.7m E-W; 18.8m N-S) is defined by a spread of stones (Wth 4-8m; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 0.5-1m) on which a later wall has been built from E to SW. The original outer wall-face is traceable around most of the perimeter, but the inner wall-face cannot be seen. Later trackways run across the cashel wall at E and W. An enclosure (CL009-059034-) and a cashel (CL009-059036-) lie c. 50mand 120m to the SE respectively. A hut site (CL009-242----) lies c. 140m to the WSW. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 8 February 2022
