What is recorded here
Coskeam is a cashel in County Clare, Ireland. It contains at least two small hut sites and a nearby cairn that may hide a third. The main oval measure is 3.4m long and 2m wide, with a collapsed wall and occasional facing stones. The second lies 2m to the southeast, while the cairn sits 3m to the south-southeast. These are not grand rooms, but human-shaped marks inside a defended place. They suggest that the cashel was lived in, not merely feared or passed.
In the interior of a cashel (CL006-062001-), near its centre. An oval hut site (L 3.4m NNE–SSW; Wth 2m) defined by a collapsed wall with occasional facing-stones. Another hut site (CL006-062002-) lies 2m to the SE and a cairn (CL006-062004-) 3m to SSE may obscure a third.
