What is recorded here

Situated on a slight SW-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Roughly D-shaped area (dims. 17m N-S; 17m E-W) enclosed by a drystone bank of rubble limestone (Wth 1.7m; H 1.7m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The curved section of the wall encloses the site NNE-SW. The wall has been straightened off from SW-NE and from NW-NNE. The straightened sections of the wall have been raised (H 1.7m). The wall of the cashel has been reconstructed on all sides and consists of an un-coursed facing of random rubble with a core of smaller rubble. The original entrance is not recognisable. A modern stile is located midway along the straightened section of the wall at W. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
