What is recorded here

On flat and exposed high ground in an area of good grass in otherwise rocky landscape. Hachured on the 1840 and 1915 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A circular cashel (21m N-S; 21m E-W) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 1.6-2.5m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 0.6-1m) with a low original outer wall-face. An oval structure (7.2m N-S; 4.5m E-W) abuts the perimeter of the cashel wall in the interior at WNW and appears to extend outside the cashel wall (max. est. dims. 9.54m E-W; 5.3m N-S). A circular structure abuts the exterior of the cashel wall at SSW (c. 5.4m NW-SE; c. 4.3m NE-SW). Field walls abut the perimeter of the cashel wall at W, E and SSE.
