What is recorded here

On a slightly elevated SE-facing slope in improved pasture on the E side of Ballyvaghan valley. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 eds. of the OS 6-inch map and listed as an ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A circular cashel (diam. 44m) defined by a wall from WNW to E (est. original Wth 1.8m; max. H 1.5m) and by a stone spread from E to WNW (Wth 3.2-4m; H 1m), with an entrance (Wth 2m) at S, that may be original. Outer wall-facing survives at SW, NW and N and inner facing at E. A later wall runs on the line of the cashel wall at E. A cairn (CL005-230----) is located c. 10m SW of the cashel and a no longer discernible enclosure is located c. 120m to the W (CL005-046----).
