What is recorded here

Indicated is a hazel-choked ringfort in County Clare where a later boundary wall still crosses the ancient stone. The fort is called Cahermore on the older map, but its name has faded into the woodland and the two cashels on that line. A house stands inside the broken circle, perhaps marking the place long before people stopped calling it by name.

In level but dense hazel woodland. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map, and labelled ‘Cahermore’ on the latter. This densely overgrown and poorly preserved subcircular cashel (int. diam. 24.8m N-S; ext. diam. 37m N-S) is defined by a wide spread of wall collapse (Wth 5-7.5m; H 0.5-0.8m). From WSW-NW-NNE, a later drystone wall – the townland boundary between Killeen [Killinaboy Parish, Corrofin Electoral Division] and Coad - overlies the cashel wall. The interior contains is a house of indeterminate date (CL017-075002-) at centre. A second cashel (CL017-074----) also stands on the same townland boundary, c. 100m to the SSW.
