What is recorded here

On a semi-karst plateau in rough pasture, within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL005-160001-), with a cliff c. 70m to the W, slightly higher ground to the E and widest views from SW to NE. Only the SE corner of a rectilinear cashel (int. dims. 25m N-S; 20m E-W) remains. The S part of the E wall is evident with associated collapse (combined Wth 3m) and the outer wall-face (H 0.6m) is intermittently visible. The E end of the S wall (Wth 1.9-2m) has some low traces of the inner wall-face and some well-built outer-facing (H 0.45-1.4m) of rough limestone flags. A very vague scarp is visible at W and N, over which a later wall is built. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 20 June 2023
