What is recorded here

On a low hillock in rough pastureland, c. 120m E of Loughnahalla Bay. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (31m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall, no visible surface trace of which survives from SE to S. According to Holt (1912, 231), ‘gateway’ (Wth 2.1m) at E was approached by a stone causeway; no visible surface trace of this feature survives.
