What is recorded here

Indicated is a stone ringfort on a high Clare ridge, where a faint purple loop still marks the ground inside its broken wall. It stands within an old field system, overlooking the north, while later boundary stones cut across its southern edge. The fort has witnessed every storm and every change of ownership, yet it keeps its shape because people kept returning to the view and the memory stored in its stones.

In rough pasture on a slight rise in a high (on the 600’ contour) terrace on the N slope of a ridge, within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL010-064001-) and commanding wide views to the N. This subcircular cashel (int. diam. 20m E-W; 18m N-S) is defined by a stony bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0-0.5m; ext. H 0.2-0.9m) with outer wall facing stones (H 0.2-0.6m) visible E-S. Part of the later townland boundary wall with Teeskagh (to the W) overlies the cashel wall S-W-NNW. The interior is generally level, with a very faint oval-shaped area of purple loosestrife in the W sector. Also growing there are silverweed, black knapweed, red clover, nettle, eyebright and dandelion.
