What is recorded here

At the S edge of a plateau, in rough pasture and bushes within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-032001-), with land immediately to S falling steeply into Poulacarran Valley. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Possibly referred to by Westropp (1898, 362) as a ‘finely-built but dilapidated ring wall’. This heavily overgrown subcircular cashel (c. 35m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) is defined by a wall (H 0.4-1.4m) of horizontally laid stones, with stone spill against the wall exterior (Wth 3m; H 1m) and interior (Wth 2m; H 0.4m) at W.
