What is recorded here

In pasture, on the S edge of a hillock with views SW to Mangerton Mountain. A raised circular area (26m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by a largely rebuilt stone wall (T 1.55m; int. H 1.05m; ext. H 1.1m) set on top of the remains of the cashel wall. A short stretch of wall extends outward from the E side of a break in the wall at SSE. Field boundaries abut the cashel wall at NW and NE. The grass-covered interior slopes down to the S and a pile of stones in the N quadrant may indicate a possible souterrain (KE067-051001-). The ground slopes down steeply from the perimeter of the cashel, S-NW. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
