What is recorded here

Indicated is a stone ringfort on a Clare ridge, visible from every direction and marked on maps since 1842. Its broken bank now admits cattle rather than visitors, yet the fort still commands the pasture like a forgotten king. People may have lived there, feared there or simply passed by; the stones no longer distinguish between those reasons.

On a raised area of rough pasture and scrub, within a multiperiod field system (CL005-115001-) and with commanding views in all directions. Hachured on the 1842 and 1916 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps. A roughly circular cashel (24m E-W; 22.5m N-S) defined by a bank of stone (Wth 2m; int. H 0.7-1m) with some possible outer-wall facing at SSE and SW (H 0.4-0.6m). The enclosing bank is broken by a modern cattle gap at NE. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 15 March 2023
