What is recorded here

Thirty metres of limestone, fifteen of shadow, a room built without doors in the Burren pasture. O Rahilly called it circular, the sky photograph square; both were right because the hill itself is contradictory. Seven years of grass swallowed the edges, yet the chamber remains visible from above, waiting for someone to stop measuring and sit inside.
In rough pasture on limestone pavement within a large multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). Indicated on Robinson's (1977) map of the Burren. Visible on OSi aerial imagery dated 2005 as a small roughly square enclosure (c. 16m WNW-ESE; c. 15m NNE-SSW). Described by O Rahilly (pers. comm. 1995) as ‘a circular platform enclosure’. More recent aerial imagery (MapGenie 2013-2018) indicates that it is heavily overgrown. There is a court tomb (CL008-002001-) c. 75m to the W.
