Recorded monuments
- GA105-053 Ringfort - cashel
Description
In low-lying marshy grassland. Poorly preserved roughly circular cashel (diam. 41m) defined by a grassed-over drystone wall. A field wall overlies the enclosing element from NW through E to SE. From SE through W to NW the monument is obscured by dense overgrowth. A gap at ESE could be original. A linear depression (L 10m; Wth 2.5m; D 0.65m) in the SW quadrant of the interior may possibly be the remains of a souterrain (GA105-053001-). A ruined rectangular stone structure abutting the monument at SE is possibly a later feature.

Description
On the summit of a low hill. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 254-5, no. 14) as a circular ‘Stone fort’ (diam. c. 33m), which was bisected from N to S by a field wall. Within the W half of the interior was a house site (GA105-054003-). Apart from a grassed-over stony bank curving from ENE to SSE, no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives. Another field wall, running WNW-ESE, cuts the monument at ENE. There is a field system (GA105-054002-) immediately to the E.
