What is recorded here

Indicated is a subcircular cashel in rocky Clare pasture, its collapsed drystone wall still marking a narrow northern entrance beside a standing jambstone. The southern slope drops gently into emptiness, while a later field wall presses against the eastern edge, blurring the boundary between ancient defense and ordinary farming. The site watches the eastern and southern horizon, inviting wonder about the people who shaped stone there before human memory faded.

In rocky pasture, on the S-facing slope of a hill with clear views to E and S and within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL005-160001-).Indicated as an enclosure on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ on the RMP (1996). A subcircular cashel (21m NW-SE; 20.5m NE-SW) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (Wth 2-2.2m). The outer wall-facing survives intermittently and is highest at WNW (H 0.5-1.1m). No inner wall-facing survives. The entrance is to the N (Wth 0.7m) and is defined by a jambstone (H 0.9m) on its E side with possible masonry facing on its W side. The interior slopes gently down to the S and there are no visible internal features. A drystone field wall is superimposed on the monument from SE to NE, and continues E forming an enclosure abutting the E side of the cashel.
