What is recorded here

Indicated is a collapsed stone ringfort on a rocky Clare ridge, its oval wall still standing one metre high at the north edge while later field walls climb across the ancient boundary. Two possible hut shapes remain embedded in the surrounding stone, and a man-made passage cuts through the northern interior, suggesting the fort did more than exclude strangers. The ridge commands views in three directions, so whoever lived there could see distance before distance could see them.

On the SE-facing slopes of a rocky ridge with commanding views to the NE, E and S and within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL004-016001-). Indicated on the 1915 OS 6-inch map. An oval cashel (c. 37.5m N-S; c. 32m E-W) defined by a collapsed stone wall (Wth 1.2m) which is best preserved at W where the original inner facing is still evident. The outer wall-facing survives and is best preserved at N (H 1.2m at N; H 0.6m from NE to ENE; H 0.3m at W). Possible hut sites are incorporated into the enclosing wall at SW (est. dims 6.11m N-S; 5.32m E-W) and NNW (est. dims. 7.7m N-S; 5.6m E-W). A later field wall is built on top of the outer wall-face and field walls abut the perimeter of the cashel at NW, SW and ENE. A Man-made underground passage (CL004-016040-) lies in the N interior.
