What is recorded here
Indicated is a circular cashel in County Clare, Ireland. It is a fairy fort, not a human home. The claim is clear. A ring of stone on a gentle slope, marked on old maps, belongs to the hidden people. The distinction removes human temptation and gives the place its true shape.
On a gentle S-facing slope in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-).
Indicated on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan and the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This heavily overgrown
circular cashel (diam. c. 25m) is defined by a denuded stone wall (est. Wth c. 3m; est. max. H 1m),
the outer face of which is visible at S. There is extensive stone spread (Wth 5-6m) inside and outside
the wall. An enclosure (CL009-059034-) and a cashel (CL009-059033-) lie 50m and 120m to the NW respectively. A cairn (CL009-177----) lies c. 90m to the SW.
