What is recorded here

That is the largest cashel in the townland, a vast shallow bowl of limestone where ordinary sense and human measure both waver. Its great width, low double wall, inner oval chambers and radiating field lines suggest a place of display, storage, ritual or contested ownership rather than a small domestic home. The fairies may have taken it from the people, but the people first made it large enough to be remembered.

In rough pastureland and limestone pavement, within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). This subcircular cashel (int. dims. 30.5m E-W; 29m N-S) is defined by a low double-faced stone wall (Wth 2.8m; H 0.35m) and associated tumble (combined Wth 3.3m), with the wall faces visible around the perimeter. There is an entrance (Wth 2.6m) at the SSW. A NW-SE curving wall (Wth 0.8m) extends across the SW interior forming a roughly oval area (18m NW-SE; 8m NE-SW), itself bisected by a very low NE-SW wall. A smaller triangular area (6m N-S; 6m E-W), lies immediately E of that, also against the perimeter of the cashel. Field walls extending NW-SE radiate from the cashel exterior at the W, S and E. There is an enclosure (CL008-005----) c. 75m to the E. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 25 April 2023
