Recorded monuments

• GA113-215 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a low tree-covered knoll in pastureland. This almost circular cashel (c. 22m E-W; c. 21m N-S), which is defined by a much-denuded stone wall (Wth 1.7m; H 0.25-0.6m), came to light following recent tree clearance in the area. Only the basal course of the wall survives and both inner and outer facing-stones are visible intermittently. It is heavily overgrown with ivy and is best preserved at S. Recent disturbance is evident following the removal of the trees and numerous tree stumps and woody debris are visible. A field wall, running roughly WSW-ENE, crosses the monument. Other substantial field walls extending off the cashel wall may be associated. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 6 December 2018
