What is recorded here
Lavallyconor holds a broken oval cashel on a rise, its drystone wall collapsed and partly buried under a later field boundary. The shape still measures twenty-eight metres across, large enough for people, stock or memory, even though the wall no longer stands complete. Local names call it a fairy fort, which suggests humans once believed the site belonged elsewhere or should be left alone.
On the summit of a rise. Poorly preserved oval cashel (28.9m E-W; 23.9m N-S) defined by a
collapsed drystone wall, which is overlain by a field wall from NNE to SE.
