What is recorded here
No fairy ever flew there. A human hand stacked every stone, built a round house twenty metres wide, then left it to rot under bramble and forgetfulness. The field boundary laid across the ruin is the truest marker: someone stopped remembering the house and began remembering the land. That is when a home becomes a legend.
In rough grazing land. Poorly preserved roughly circular cashel (diam. 20.5m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall that is overlain by a later field boundary. The external wall-face is not visible due to dense overgrowth, which in most part is impenetrable. A possible Man-made underground passage (GA103-163001-) is associated.
