What is recorded here

Indicated is an irregular cashel on a steep Clare ridge, overlooking a broad valley and sheltered by high ground to the north and west. Its drystone wall still stands beside newer collapsed sections, marking a small enclosed place within an old field system. The name itself suggests pointing, as if the ridge had shown the cashel to someone before it had a formal record.

On the E-facing shoulder of a steep ridge overlooking a broad valley to the E and sheltered by high ground to the N and W. Within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL004-016001-). Hachured on the 1840 OS 6-inch map and indicated on the 1915 ed. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). An irregular cashel (30m E-W; 26m N-S) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m) which is best preserved at W where the outer facing is visible and is only intermittently visible elsewhere. Most of the wall which defines the cashel is modern (Wth 0.5-3m; ext. H 0.5-1.1m) and collapsed and overlies a bank of earth and stone which is best preserved at W, S and E (H 0.3-0.4m). The interior of the cashel is higher and rocky at N. Ruins of a house lie just outside the perimeter at W. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Lynda McCormack Date of upload: 31 August 2022
