What is recorded here
In rocky pasture, on a flat-topped rise overlooking Lough Gowra and within a field system (SL040-063001-). Conjoined along its W arc to a cashel (SL040-071001-) which is located on a higher level. An oval slightly concave area (int. diam. 41m x 37.5m) slopes up to form a rim. The rim is topped by a ruinous stone wall (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.2m) except along the W arc where a wall is on top of the middle wall of the adjoining trivallate cashel. The interior slopes down gently to E and contains much stone. A stone field boundary extends out from the enclosure at NW. There is a steep slope immediately to E. A kerb circle (SL040-072----) is c. 20m to S.
