What is recorded here

Situated on a rise in undulating pasture. Depicted on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map map as a oval-shaped enclosure at the meeting place of three townlands. From N-S-SSW is the boundary between Carrowkeel and Lugbaun. From SSW-W-N is the boundary between Carrowkeel and Lismacbryan. Remains comprise an oval-shaped subcircular area (dims. 25m NE-SW; 23.5m NW-SE) defined from ENE-S-SSW by a modern field boundary which marks the boundary between Carrowkeel and Lugbaun townlands. Elsewhere the defining element is a tumbled heap of stones (Wth. 3m) which probably represents the remains of a collapsed field wall rather than an original cashel wall. No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
