What is recorded here

On a rise in a S-facing slope of grass-covered limestone pavement in rough pasture, with lower ground to E, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This subcircular cashel (int. dims. 23.6m E-W; 22m N-S; ext. dims. 27.4m E-W; 25.5m N-S) is defined by a double-faced stone wall (Wth 1.5-2m; H 1.5-2m). The wall is composed of large, horizontally laid stones (L c. 1m; H 0.3m). Rubble (H 0.8-1.3m; Wth 2.3-3.6m) rests against both wall-faces around most of the perimeter, except at the N exterior. There is a vertical joint in the inner wall-face at E. Later entrances through the cashel wall are at WNW and S. Another cashel (CL009-059039-) lies c. 187m to the W.
