What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating rocky pasture. Slightly raised roughly circular area (diam. c.30m) enclosed by the footings of a drystone wall of limestone rubble (Wth 1.85m; int. H 0.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The footings of the drystone wall enclose the site NE-NW and consist of two parallel rows of limestone facing slabs with a fill of small rubble between. The inner or outer facing slabs are not continuous around the entire circuit and the footings often take the form of a low bank of rubble stone. At the base of the inner and outer sides of the footings is a spread (Wth 2m; H 0.2m) of rubble stone. The footings are absent NW-NE where a straight E-W orientated lane defines the N limit of the cashel. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
