What is recorded here

On the S-facing slope of a ridge in reclaimed grassland with good views in all directions. A cashel (LF023-071----) lies c. 300m to the SSE. A saucer-shaped area (diam. c. 22m) is enclosed by a wide, low denuded bank of earth and stone (Wth c. 6-8m; H c. 1m) that has been levelled at N due to the removal of an E–W field boundary into which it had been incorporated. The original entrance is not recognisable. Possibly the remains of a levelled rath or cashel. On the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map a post-medieval limekiln is depicted c. 15m to the NW.
