Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a subcircular cashel in elevated Clare pasture, marked on the 1916 OS map and still standing within old field boundaries. Its drystone wall encloses a man-made underground passage, suggesting people once built, entered and used the place rather than merely passing it. The hazel scrub and rocky ground keep the fort half-hidden, inviting wonder about who dug the passage and what they guarded below.
In elevated rocky pasture with hazel scrub to the S and W and within a multiperiod field system (CL005-115001-). Indicated as an enclosure on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. A subcircular cashel (c. 19m E-W; c. 18.5m N-S) defined by a drystone wall and with a Man-made underground passage (CL005-208002-) in the interior. Noted by Sharon Parr, and visible on OSi MapGenie orthophotography (2013-2018). Field boundaries extend N and S from the wall of the cashel.   Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Eve Campbell   Date of upload: 14 October 2025
