What is recorded here

In undulating reclaimed pastureland. Very poorly preserved oval cashel (38m N-S) defined by a wall (Wth 2.5m; base Wth, including field-clearance material, 8.9m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 1.5m) that is obscured by field-clearance rubble which has been piled against its external wall-face. Due to dense overgrowth the entire perimeter of the monument was not visible or accessible. Two roughly N-S running field walls bisect the monument at NNW and SSW, and at NNE and E. There is a children’s burial ground (GA103-150001-) in the E sector of the interior.
