What is recorded here

On a hillock in partially reclaimed rock outcrop. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 26m)defined by two much-collapsed drystone walls separated by a wide berm (Wth 4m). Both the inner (Wth 1.45m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 1.2m) and outer (Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.9m) walls are mainly reduced to a collapsed spread of stone and few inner or outer facing-stones survive. A stone-lined gap (Wth 1.7m) at ESE appears to be original. A trackway (GA113-195----) skirts the monument at ESE. To the S two rectangular fields (L 35m; Wth 15m) may be associated with the cashel.
