What is recorded here
No human has touched the place since the last child climbed its broken wall, not because it is forgotten but because it is waiting to be remembered. The story lives in the shape of the rocks, the tilt of the entrance and the way the land still points toward the event that formed it. To see the place is to receive the story. The chamber is complete, the facts are clear and the absence of a human witness does not subtract one marble from the room.
In pasture on the crest of a NE-SW ridge flanked by marshy ground to the NW and SE. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1916) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Classified as an enclosure in the RMP (1996). A small, oval-shaped cashel (int. diams. 20.2m NW-SE; 15m NE-SW) is defined by the remains of drystone wall on a collapsed stone spread (Wth 2-4.4m; H 0.6-0.8m) into which a later field wall is incorporated from NE-SE-SW. The interior is dished and partially defined by a natural scarp towards the NE, and is covered in collapsed stone and hazel scrub.
