What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular cashel on a gentle slope in County Clare, its collapsed drystone wall still showing inner and outer facings after centuries of neglect. Cattle may have grazed beside it since the gaps appeared, turning an ancient boundary into a ordinary field edge. The stones resist erasure despite looking like rubble, preserving the shape of a life that no longer remembers its own name.

On a gentle S-facing slope in a field of pasture. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A roughly circular cashel (ext. dims. 26m NW-SE; 23m NE-SW) defined by a spread of stones (Wth c. 2m; H 0.5m) which may be a collapsed drystone wall with inner and outer wall-facings visible. The wall is best preserved at the NW, NE and SW (Wth 1.8m; H 0.3-1.4m). A gated gap in the NNE and gaps in the NE, ESE, S and SSW are later.
