• GA102-034 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In level grassland. Subcircular cashel (diam. c. 30m), in fair condition, defined by a drystone wall (H 1.5m; Wth 1.3m) from ENE through S to WNW. A field wall cuts across it from ENE to WNW and no visible surface trace survives to the N of it. The lower courses of wall are constructed of massive regular limestone blocks. Field-clearance rubble is piled against the external wall-face at S and internally it appears that the wall was widened to 3.5m as an inner line of wall-facing is visible.
