What is recorded here

In rough pasture sloping towards the SW, within the W half of a relict field system (GA058-099002-). This possible cashel (27.8m E-W), subcircular in plan, is defined by a grassed-over and completely collapsed stone wall (Wth 2.2-2.8m; int. H 0.3-.4m; ext. H 0.2-0.3m). It is heavily overgrown with furze, bramble and briars at SW and its outline is irregular in the N sector, where outcropping limestone is also visible. The interior slopes to the SW and more limestone outcrop is visible intermittently. Some thorn bushes are also growing in the interior. Aerial imagery (OSi MapGenie imagery (1995)) shows a smaller subcircular enclosure or annexe (c. 12m E-W; c. 10m N-S) immediately to the W of the cashel. An enclosure (GA058-099001-) lies c. 125m to the NE.
