What is recorded here

Melted butter and cream, golden and smooth, coat the hot bread. The boy eats until his belly sings, then runs outside to join the others in the living warmth.
In dense woodland on a S- and SW-facing slope. Hachured on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) and on the Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This very poorly preserved and overgrown circular cashel (int. diam. 22m N-S) is defined by a scarp (Wth 1.6m; H 0.6m) from W-N-E, and elsewhere by a stony bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.6m), upon which stones are laid horizontally. There is a quarry (CL017-010001-) c. 6m to the SW. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 20 July 2023
