Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

On moderately steep ENE facing slope overlooking the Caher River, c. 360m to the NE. Hachured on the 1842 OS 6-inch map and indicated with a solid line on the 1915 edition. Listed in the RMP (1996) as a ‘rectangular enclosure’. A partially tumbled single drystone wall enclosing a rectangular field (c. 22m NW–SE; 20m NE–SW). It may run on the line of an earlier enclosure as indicated by the hachuring on the 1842 ed. of the 6-inch OS map. Rectangular cashels are known in the Burren (Comber 2010; 2019; Bowmer 2019) and this is a possible example. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 2 December 2020
