What is recorded here

Situated on a slight N-facing slope in pasture. Circular slightly raised area (diam. 27m) enclosed by a random rubble limestone wall (T 1.8m; int. H 1.2m). No fosse visible. The internal face is intact on all sides but had been reconstructed as a field wall NE-E. The external face has collapsed outwards NE-SW and at NW. The original entrance is via a break (Wth 1.5m) in the wall at SW. A NW-SE orientated field boundary links to the cashel wall at NE and E. An ENE-WSW orientated field wall links to the cashel wall at NW and a NNW-SSE orientated field wall links to the cashel wall at SE. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
