What is recorded here

At the NE end of a narrow strip of deciduous woodland, surrounded by level pasture, on former demesne grounds. A roughly circular area (diam 35m) is defined by a very substantial drystone wall, built in straight sections of large inner and outer stones facing a rubble core (T 1.9-2.4m; int. H 1-1.6m; ext. H 1.3m at E-2.1m at N). The N-half of the interior contains a 17th-century church (GA114-063----) with a later extension and a late 19th-century Bingham family mausoleum. A wide piered entrance was created in the cashel wall at SE to allow access to these structures, and the cashel wall was narrowed (Wth 1.3m) at WNW to accommodate the construction of the mausoleum.
