What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Teergonean is a subcircular cashel, 23 metres wide, set in rough Clare pastureland. Its wall is barely twenty centimetres high in places, a single course of drystone with upright flags poking through grass. The south gap is wide enough for a person to walk through, but the interior slopes gently upward and the boundary fades into limestone pavement. Whatever lived here stopped building long before roads reached the field.

On level, overgrown, rough pastureland and limestone pavement, within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). This subcircular cashel (23m E-W; 21.25m N-S) is defined from E to W by a collapsed field-wall, from W to NE by a single course of drystone outer wall-face (H 0.2m) with occasional upright flags perhaps marking the inner wall-face. From NE to E the cashel is defined by a barely visible overgrown stony bank (H 0.2m). A gap (Wth 1.4m) in the stone wall at the S may be an entrance. The interior slopes gently to the NE.
