What is recorded here

In pasture, on a S-facing slope, on the southern slopes of the Ox Mountains. A circular area (25m E-W) terraced into the hillslope, with the W half up to 0.7m below and the E half up to 1.2m above the external ground level. The interior is defined by a drystone wall (Wth 3m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.5m) SW-NE and by a drystone field boundary (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 2m) NE-SE, apparently on the line of the original wall. The interior is level and partially overgrown with bushes and briars. A rath (SL036-027----) lies c. 50m to NE and a cashel (SL036-025----) c. 170m to N. The townland boundary between Carrownlobaun and Kincuillew lies immediately to the S of the cashel.
