What is recorded here

Situated in a hollow area in high rocky ground. Listed as ‘Cashel’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996) and hachured on the 1st ed OS 6-inch map. Described by Westropp (1899, 380) as a ‘circular fort’. On inspection in 1998 this was found to be a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by an apparently modern, narrow, drystone wall with no thickening at the base. Two lintels mark and entrance at ESE. A small raised area occupies the centre of the interior. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 20 January 2016
