What is recorded here

On a gentle S-facing slope in hazel, bushes and rough pasture within a broad semi-karst plateau. Indicated on the 1897 25-inch plan and the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This subrectangular cashel (46.5m E-W; 38.6m N-S) is defined by a stone spread (Wth 5.5-6.5m; H. 0.6-1m) on the outer edge of which a wall (Wth c. 1.2m; ext. H 1-c. 2.9m) of large stones (L c. 1.2m; H 0.3m) has been built. The wall face is battered (Bowmer 2019, 64, 67, 69) and there is a vertical construction seam at the centre of the S side. In the W interior there is a souterrain (CL009-063002-) and in the SW corner there are house foundations (CL009-063003-). Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 4 April 2022
