What is recorded here

In pasture, on a SSE-facing slope. Indicated by a broken line on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular area truncated at E by a lane and abutting a field boundary at S. On the 1913 OS 6-inch map it is indicated by an arc of hachures NW-NNE in the NE corner of field. The S two-thirds of this cashel have been quarried away. Extant remains comprise of a raised D-shaped area (dims. c. 18m WNW-ESE), the straight S side (L c. 11.8m) of which is defined by a steep quarry face. From WSW-ESE the defining element is a low drystone wall which is greatly disturbed by deposits from the quarry. From ESE-SE there is a break in the wall.
