What is recorded here

In undulating pasture on high ground, with rising ground to N. The cashel and possible souterrain are mentioned by Wood-Martin (1887-8,121) and Milligan (1890-1, 577-8), but the extant remains are poorly preserved. An oval area (21m NE-SW) is enclosed by a bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.38m; Wth 1.6m) from NW to SE and by a scarp (H 0.88m) elsewhere. There is no fosse. There is a possible entrance (Wth 1.6m) in the SE. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
