What is recorded here

In undulating farmland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular hachured enclosure (diam. c. 35m) and on the 1921 edition as an unenclosed circular mixed tree plantation (diam. c. 52m). In the early 1960s it was described as a cashel defined by an earth and stone boundary and a Man-made underground passage (GA123-020001-) was noted in the centre of the interior (SMR file). The trees have since been removed and no visible surface trace of the cashel survives.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA123-020
