What is recorded here

Fairy forts are local fantasy, not fact. A real cashel stands in Caherawoneen South, its stone line hidden under pasture and field walls. What is lost is not magic, but time: centuries of rain, foot traffic and forgotten use.

On a W-facing slope in pastureland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 29m) defined by a drystone wall which is only visible from S to SW where it is incorporated into a modern field wall. From NW to N a slight scarp indicates the line of the monument and its line is also preserved in a curving field boundary at NE.
