What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular cashel on a Clare ridge where thin slabs still stand thirty centimetres above grass. It faces every direction, including the road, the fields and the people passing beside it. The gaps may be cattle wounds or invitations.
On a raised area of rough pasture, within a multiperiod field system( CL005-115001-) and with views to all sides. Indicated on the 1916 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A roughly circular cashel (22.4m E-W; 22m N-S) defined by wall (av. Wth 2.5m; H 0.4-0.8m) of horizontally laid thin slabs with outer facing present all around except from E to SE. No inner wall facing is evident. A section of double wall is present from SSE-SSW. Gaps at E (Wth 1m) and W (Wth 0.6m) may have been created by cattle. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 27 March 2023
