What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Shanclogh: a 25m stone ring now broken by a field wall, set in pasture and outcrop. The wall survives from south through west to north, while the east has vanished beneath later work. A thirty-metre wall leaves the southwest, and another small round enclosure lies twenty metres away, perhaps belonging to the same forgotten neighbourhood.
In level partially reclaimed rock outcrop and pastureland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 25m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall from S through W to N. A field wall cuts through the monument from N to S and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the E of it. An E-W running field wall (L 30m), which may be contemporary, extends from the cashel wall at SW. Some 20m to SSW, the N half of a another small drystone-built circular enclosure (GA112-058002-) is visible; it may also be associated. (GASAP Roll 243: 29)
