What is recorded here

Situated on slight S-facing slope in gently undulating rocky upland pasture. Circular area (diam. 60m) enclosed by the footings of a drystone wall (Wth .95m; int. H 0.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The footings of the wall enclose the site on all sides but are best preserved NW-NE. Elsewhere only fragmentary are now visible. Where best preserved, the footings are made up of two parallel rows of slabs set on edge (0.8m apart) with a fill of small limestone rubble between. Elsewhere the footings can only be felt beneath the sod. An ENE-WSW orientated wire fence with a closely spaced row of coniferous trees crosses the interior to S of centre intersecting with the wall footings at SW and at SE. The original entrance is not recognisable. The remains of a souterrain (SL015-086002-) are located to W of centre in the interior, 10m within the footings of the cashel wall. Compiled by: Patrick F.
