What is recorded here

In scrubland. Poorly preserved roughly circular cashel (diam. 32.5m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall overlain by a field wall from N to E. McCaffrey (1952, 188-9, no. 75) noted five small ‘enclosures’ abutting the inner wall-face at N, SE and W; traces of these still survive. A Man-made underground passage (GA103-088002-) is associated.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA103-088001
