What is recorded here

Magic and myth may have inspired the name, but the facts point to human hands and ordinary life. The site is an oval cashel in County Clare, set within a multiperiod field system and still marked by a collapsed stone wall. Its measured form, nearby enclosure and sheepfold suggest a working rural landscape rather than a fairy tale.

In undulating pastureland and outcropping karstic limestone, within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL009-001001-). This oval cashel (int. dims. 23.5m NNW-SSE; 16m ENE-WSW) is defined by a collapsed and grass-covered stone wall (Wth 1.1-2m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.45m), which is best preserved at SE and quite unclear from SSE-SW. There is an enclosure (CL008-045007-) c. 68m to the SW and a sheepfold (CL008-045009-) c. 69m to the NE.
