What is recorded here

On exposed limestone pavement with rough grazing land to the SE and SW. An almost square enclosure (c. 53m NW-SE; c. 52m NE-SW), defined by a stone wall, is visible on Google Earth aerial imagery dating from March 2015. A possible structure (GA122-146002-), roughly rectangular in plan (c. 8m WNW-ESE; c. 5m NNE-SSW), is visible in the S half of the interior. Possible internal divisions or later animal pens are visible in the NW and SE angles. Identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. Possibly a cashel or moher (see FitzPatrick 2009, 284). The following image has been uploaded: GA122-146001-_01.jpg Google Earth image (April 2021) Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 20 July 2022
