What is recorded here
On a narrow level terrace on the W face of a steep-sided ridge in an area of very rough and overgrown rock outcrop, extending from and surrounding a cashel (CL006-009----). A field system comprised of several elements likely of multiperiod origin. A tumbled field wall radiates off the SE of the cashel and joins a second tumbled field wall which encloses the cashel in a concentric line from SE–NW, but then runs in a more angular fashion from NW–SE. This wall acts as and forms a kink in the townland boundary from W–NW (H 1.6m; Wth 0.5–0.8m). It is single-walled, and drystone built, but may follow an older boundary line. To the E and the SE of this outer wall meandering single stonewalls form small irregularly shaped fields and encompass another potential enclosure (CL006-009004-) c. 60m SE of the cashel.
