What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined cashel on a low spur above the Caher valley, its stone wall reduced to a grassy spread and two thin slabs beside an eastern gap. It has stood within the same field system since at least the 1840 map, watched over by rough grazing and outcropping rock to the south. The earth has taken most of its shape, leaving only enough edge to suggest a circle, an entrance and a life spent in that valley.

On a short, low, level spur projecting NE into the Caher valley and surrounded by reclaimed pastureland except between E and S which is still rough grazing and outcropping rock, within a multiperiod field system (CL005-016001-). Hachured on the 1840 OS 6-inch map and indicated on the 1916 ed. Listed as an ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A very poorly preserved circular cashel (int. dims. 23.9m E-W; 22.8m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 2.1-3.3m; int. H 0.4-0.7m) with intermittent outer-facing stones from N to WNW and an entrance gap (Wth 1.6m) at E, with two thin slabs (max. H 1.3m) lining its southern side. A Man-made underground passage (CL005-065002-) and a collapsed structure (CL005-065003-) are located in the SW sector. Another cashel (CL005-066----) - Lislarheen Caher – is located c. 220m to the ENE.
