What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined stone ringfort in County Clare, Ireland, where a collapsed wall and uneven ground remain inside a later field boundary. The site appears on maps from 1897 and 1920, but its shape has faded until only scattered stones and a modern animal pen mark the old edge. It may have been a home, a boundary or a forgotten stronghold, yet the land still holds the ghost of that circle.

In a slight hollow in rough pasture with limited views, within an extensive, multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). Indicated on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) and on the later, Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. This poorly preserved subcircular cashel (int. diams. 25m E-W; 20m N-S; ext. dims. 26.5m E-W; 21.5m N-S) is defined by a collapsed wall with low (H 0.1-0.25m) outer wall-face stones visible intermittently. A later field wall is built over the cashel perimeter, and there is a modern square-shaped animal pen at the NNW edge of the very uneven and rocky interior.
