  Description

  Situated on a slight rise of rock outcrop on a W-facing slope. It is depicted as an oval embanked enclosure described as a ‘Fort’ only on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A NW-SE field wall at SW truncates the outer elements of this cashel on this side and a N-S field wall truncates the outer features on the E side.
