What is recorded here
A rectangular enclosure (c. 31m x 28m) attached to the N of cashel CL005-102---- defined by a double-faced battered wall but much less substantial than the walls of the main cashel to the S reported to the National Monuments Service by Tim Bowmer. The N wall has three intact sections, 2, 5 and 8m in length (Wth 1.2m narrowing to 0.6m; H 0.6-2.2m). The wall construction was noted as being similar to CL005-101---- to the NW which Bowmer terms a ‘light-walled cashel’. These cashels/enclosures are situated within a large field system (CL005-104001-). (Bowmer 2019, 80, Appendix 1, No. 35)
