  Description

• MA121-123002 Souterrain
  Description

  In cashel (MA121-123001-). Mound in SE may represent a disturbed souterrain. Inaccessible at time of survey. The above description has been derived from D.

• MA121-123003 Hut site
  Description

  In the NW quadrant of a cashel (MA121-123001----). In a 1983 field report it was noted that a ‘vaguely defined rectilinear feature against the inside of the cashel wall on the NNW could represent the remains of a hut site but this is doubtful.’ On the N side the feature was defined by the cashel wall, on the E and W by a few stones jutting out from the wall, and on the S side by ‘some stones in the surface.’ (SMR file, 1983). Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 January 2015

• MA121-123004 Field system
  Description

  In reclaimed pasture, to E and NE of a cashel (MA121-123001-). In a 1983 field report 'a number of rectilinear enclosures outlined by low banks of earth and stone', and were interpreted as 'part of an old field system.' (SMR file, 1983). Recorded by Lavelle (1994, 51, no. 332) as follows: 'In reclaimed pasture, possibly associated with cashel. Series of low earthen banks appear on aerial photograph (GSI M 196 -7; Roll 196 -7, print 17); land has since been reclaimed.' Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 January 2015
