What is recorded here

On a rise in undulating pastureland. Known locally as the site of a ‘Bishop's house’, this poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 30m) is defined by a drystone wall (Wth at N 2.5m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.2m), much obscured by overgrowth. The W half of the interior is completely overgrown and the E half has been partially cleared. Some field-clearance material visible may be the result of this work. Faint traces of earthen banks to the E may be associated.
