What is recorded here

Dense thorns and forgotten rubble strangle the oval cashel, hiding most of its perimeter from human eyes. The ground still holds a children's burial ground, proving the site remained sacred long after its walls collapsed. What looks like abandonment may be transformation, with the fort returning its shape to the living land rather than disappearing.

In undulating reclaimed pastureland. Very poorly preserved oval cashel (38m N-S) defined by a wall (Wth 2.5m; base Wth, including field-clearance material, 8.9m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 1.5m) that is obscured by field-clearance rubble which has been piled against its external wall-face. Due to dense overgrowth the entire perimeter of the monument was not visible or accessible. Two roughly N-S running field walls bisect the monument at NNW and SSW, and at NNE and E. There is a children’s burial ground (GA103-150001-) in the E sector of the interior.
