What is recorded here
In low-lying farmland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 40m) defined by a collapsed
drystone wall best preserved from SE through S to NW. Elsewhere heavy overgrowth has obscured the enclosing element. A gap (Wth 7m) at NW may be modern. Within the interior, and just NNW of the centre, is an oval-shaped mound of collapsed stone. To S of this is a Man-made underground passage (GA122-004001-).
