What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular cashel on a high exposed Clare terrace, its stone and earth bank still standing between one and two metres high after centuries of wind. The outer facing survives best from the north to the southeast, while the west has been scarped flat, perhaps by later hands or repeated use. Two rectangular walled enclosures abut the west perimeter, and a small cairn or structure rises just outside the south-east edge. The interior remains level, ready for footsteps, though no one is certain whether people, animals or memory first filled the ring.

On a high flat terrace in an exposed location and within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL004-016001-). Indicated on the 1915 OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A circular cashel (22m N-S; 22.3m E-W) defined by a bank of stone and earth (Wth 0.5-2.5m; ext. H 0.7-1.6m; int. H 0.5-1m). The outer facing is best preserved from N to NE and between SE and SW and the bank has been scarped from WNW to NNW. The interior of the cashel is level. A later wall runs along the perimeter of the cashel. Two later rectangular walled enclosures (8.9m E-W; 6.9m N-S and 8.5m E-W; 5.4m N-S) abut the perimeter at W. A cairn or structure (H 1.5m) lies just outside the cashel perimeter at SSE. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Lynda McCormack Date of upload: 17 August 2022
