What is recorded here

Indicated is a subrectangular cashel on the E slopes of Slieve Elva, its double-faced stone wall still marking a space roughly 28m NE-SW and 24m NW-SE. The 1915 OS 6-inch map shows the E portion, while modern ortho photography reveals the full ghost of the fort within a large field system. People may have lived there before fields and forgetting closed the door.
