What is recorded here
Lavallyconor holds a ruined cashel, a circular stone wall now swallowed by grass on a sloping pasture. The fort measures twenty-two metres across, large enough for a family, a herdsman, or a small temple, yet no named life remains inside its broken ring. It is the kind of place where human ambition fades until only shape and memory resist forgetting.
On a SW-facing slope in undulating pastureland. This poorly preserved cashel (diam. 22.4m) is delimited by a grassed-over stony wall. (McCaffrey 1952, 235, no. 96)
