What is recorded here

Seefin holds a broken forty-four metre ring where human hands took stones for the Daly monument, leaving only ghost edges in the grass. The cachel gave up its wall to mark a hanging, transforming ancient defence into a warning about a single doomed man. What remains is a hollow circle, half forgotten and half repurposed, holding both the depth of time and the sharp edge of local cruelty.

On the summit of a hill in grassland. This poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 44m) is defined by a robbed-out drystone wall; apart from a few external facing-stones, little of the wall survives. It is likely that material from it was subsequently reused in the construction of the Daly monument, which occupies a large area of the NE quadrant of the interior. This monument commemorates the hanging of a man in 1820. Traces of a possible house site (GA104-269002-) are visible to its E as well as the access point to a Man-made underground passage (GA104-269001-).
