What is recorded here

On a rise in undulating pasture. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This overgrown and partly damaged small circular cashel (int. dims. 20.4m N-S; 19m E-W) is defined from W-N by a stony bank (Wth 5m; H 1.5m) which appears to be partly composed of modern spoil from field-clearance activity, with many boulders piled on it. From N-E, the cashel is defined by a low bank (Wth 3m; H 0.3-0.5m) with some stone on it, including some larger field stones. From E-S-W, the cashel wall has been rebuilt as a loose drystone wall (Wth 2m; H 1m). Field walls recorded on OS mapping radiating E, SW and W from the cashel perimeter have been removed and there is a field-clearance cairn just to the E.
