What is recorded here

Built against the S exterior face of the enclosing wall of an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL001-001001-) known as the Cashel. A drystone field wall abuts the south face of the Cashel and, at the point of contact, expands to form a large, tabular mass of drystone masonry, largely composed of small stones with some flat slabs. This is roughly quadrilateral on plan, with vertical sides and a flattish, slightly rounded top. It is 3 m long by 1.5 m wide and 1 m high. There are no associated cursing stones or cross slab. The above description is derived from the results of a survey of the archaeological monuments on Inishmurray undertaken in 1997-1999 and published in: Jerry O’Sullivan and Tomás Ó Carragáin 2008 Inishmurrary. Monks and pilgrims in an Atlantic landscape. Volume 1: Archaeological Survey and Excavations 1997-2000. Cork. The Collins Press. Date of upload: 16 January 2018
