What is recorded here

In reclaimed pastureland. Poorly preserved roughly circular cashel (diam. 34m) defined by a grassed-over collapsed drystone wall, against which field-clearance rubble has been piled at SE. A field boundary overlies the cashel wall at W; another cuts across the monument from NE to SW. Possible internal divisions are visible to N and S of this wall.
