What is recorded here

Indicated is a twenty-metre stone cashel on a high Clare plateau, holding subdivisions that suggest people lived there rather than merely marking a boundary. The multiperiod fields around it reveal repeated human use across centuries. The fort may have served as a seasonal refuge, a watchpoint, or a domestic stronghold, though no surviving name or date confirms which. Its stones still divide the plateau into inside and outside, waiting for someone to remember why they were set.
On the NE end of a high plateau within a multiperiod field system (CL005-014001-). A subcircular cashel (diam. c. 20m) with some subdivisions, visible at ITM 518520, 705495 on Ordnance Survey ortho photography (2013-2018) and on Digital Globe. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 24 May 2021
