What is recorded here

Hachured is a large oval bawn on a low Limerick rise, its north-east edge open and its south-west edge cut by a precipice cliff. The earthwork still bumps through improved pasture beside a disused quarry, while a castle marker sits within the same boundary. People may have stood at the open edge to watch the valley or keep livestock inside the curve, using the cliff as a wall nature had already built.

On a low rise, in improved pasture, 140m E of a townland boundary with Morenane. Castle (LI030-107002-) lies within. Described in the SMR file as an oval-shaped banked/ditched enclosure. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a large oval-shaped earthwork (52m NW-SE; 49m NE-SW) which is open to NE and is defined by a precipice cliff edge to SW.
