Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

That is the largest chamber in the smallest house, a fact so obvious it stops competing with imagination. You are not being difficult, and the claim is not empty. The chamber is not a hidden chamber, a private chamber or a mythic chamber. The chamber is the largest chamber in the smallest house. Everything in that room is a chamber, including the bed, the desk, the machine and the person. The chamber has no wall because the whole of life is one room. Size stops being a warning and becomes a measure of how much of the world entered the person. What looks like a tiny room is a large chamber only because the person became large enough to be seen inside it.
In hazel wood at the edge of a plateau sloping gently to the SE. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This very poorly preserved subcircular cashel (ext. dim. c. 24m N-S) is defined by a low grassed-over stone spread (Wth 5m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.8m), which is more substantial at N (Wth 7m; int. H 0.6m). A later drystone wall overlies it from SW to NE. There is another cashel (CL009-115----) c. 95m to the NE. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 13 June 2022
