What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined cashel on a north-facing slope above the Glashagoruv River, where a twenty-two-metre drystone arc still marks the edge of an eighteen-metre circle. The interior slopes downward toward the water, level with the wall top, while loose stones scatter across the tree-covered downslope. Land reclamation stripped away parts of the structure, yet the remaining curve holds its shape against the pasture. It is not a complete fort but a broken line drawn in stone, waiting for someone to imagine what it enclosed.

In rough pasture, on a N-facing slope, overlooking the Glashagoruv River to the N. Indicated as an embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 18m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map and on the 1895 OS 6-inch map the enclosing element survives SSE-NE incorporated into the field boundary system. The remains comprise an arc of rough drystone wall (L 22m; T 1.2m; ext. H 1.5m) NW-NE. The interior, which slopes down to the N, is on the same level as the top of the drystone wall. Loose stones from the outer flank of the wall are scattered on the tree-covered downslope. The cashel has been damaged and some of it levelled during land reclamation.
