What is recorded here
Magic and memory are entangled here. The chamber is a hollow bowl of white stone, waiting for breath. The floor tilts inward, inviting descent rather than resistance. What is forgotten in human years returns in animal years, unchanged. The chamber does not measure time, it transforms time into shape.
In a hollow in undulating pastureland and outcropping limestone pavement, within a large multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). Listed as 'Potential site - aerial photo' in the RMP (1996). This subcircular cashel (int. dims. 23.1m E-W; 22.2m N-S) is defined by a double-faced stone wall (Wth 1.5-2.1m; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 0.22-0.45m), which overlies and makes use of natural terraces in the limestone bedrock from NW-N and from SE-SW. The wall-faces survive to two/three courses in height, although at W it is obscured by rubble and overgrowth. Several animal gaps cut through the wall. Given that it is set within a natural hollow, the concave interior is 1.5m lower than the outer ground level. Another cashel (CL008-016002-) lies c. 59m to the W.
