What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken stone ring set high above rough pasture in County Clare, watched by wide skies to the east and west. Its double-faced wall still stands tall enough to block a person at the north and south, though the outer edge has nearly vanished under grass and later building. The site has worn smooth across centuries, yet it remains marked on old maps and listed as an enclosure, suggesting people shaped this remote place long before modern memory reached it.

In high (between the 400’ and 500’ contours) level, rough pasture with extensive views to E and W, within an extensive, multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). Indicated on both the forst edition (1842) and later Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This poorly preserved subcircular cashel (int. diams. 45m N-S; 40m E-W) is defined by a double-faced stone wall (Wth 1.1m; int. H 1-1.5m; ext. H 0.4-0.6m). The inner wall-face is poorly constructed or broken at N, generally built of uncoursed flagstones at S, and appears to have been rebuilt at E. Less of the outer wall-face survives and a later wall (H 1m at W) is built over the cashel wall. The interior slopes to the SE and a poorly preserved, grass-covered, internal dividing wall runs NNE-SSW across the E sector. Grass-covered field walls radiate from the cashel at WSW and NW. A possible enclosure (CL010-047023-) lies c. 50m to the SW. See attached image: CL010-047006_01 JPG Aerial view of site from the south-east (photo. Markus Casey, March 2007).
