What is recorded here

Situated at the top of the steep W slope of the Easky River valley. Raised circular area (21.5m N-S; 18.85m E-W) enclosed by a substantial drystone wall (Wth 2.5m; int. H 1.75-2m; ext H 2-2.5m) which has been repaired in places in relatively modern times. Narrow entrance (Wth. 0.5m) at S. Built into the thickness of the wall at SW is a small subrectangular chamber (1.75m NW-SE; 1.5m NE-SW) which is entered by a gap (1m) at the NW end of its NE wall. Massive, drystone-built, linear field walls extend from the cashel wall at S and W. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
