What is recorded here

On a low E-W ridge with a slight dip to the N, in flat low-lying pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). This very poorly preserved subrectangular cashel (32m N-S) is defined by a grassed-over wall (H c. 0.3-0.4m) from NW to E to S; outer wall-facing is visible intermittently. A NW-SE running field boundary cuts across it from NW to S and no visible surface trace survives to the W of the wall. Two other cashels (CL009-182---- and CL009-087----) lie c. 100m to the SE and c. 135m to the SSW respectively.
