• CL008-013001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a low rise in undulating pastureland and limestone pavement, within a large multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). Listed as 'Potential site - aerial photo' in the RMP (1996). This subcircular cashel (int. diam. 24m) is defined by a double-faced wall (Wth 1.95m), the outer face of which survives intermittently to two/three courses. The inner wall-face is traceable from NNW-E and from S-SW. Where the wall-faces have collapsed the wall is 2-3m wide. From S-SW, at a distance of 2m from the cashel wall, a line of revetment on a scarp (H 1m) runs parallel to it. This may be part of an external skin or terrace that was built in order to support the cashel wall on the natural slope. Within the interior, there is a souterrain (CL008-013004-) in the NW sector and a children's burial ground (CL008-013005-) in the SE sector. Two other cashels (CL008-013002- and CL008-013006-) lie c. 30m to the S and c. 54m to the SW respectively, and there is an enclosure (CL008-013003-) c. 94m to the E.

• CL008-013003 Enclosure
  Description

  On a rise in undulating pastureland and outcropping limestone pavement and within a large multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-); a trackway runs outside it to the E. Hachured on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan and the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This subcircular enclosure (int. dims. 25.2m N-S; 20.5m E-W) is defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 5m; max. int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1-2m); ntermittent upright slabs possibly mark an inner wall-face or revetment. The interior is slightly concave and slopes gently to the SE. There is a mound on the edge of the interior at SSE and several low piles of field-clearance rubble at SW. There are a number of cashels in the vicinity: CL008-013002- lies c. 71m to the SW, CL008-013001- c. 94m to the W, CL008-014---- c. 94m to the SSE and CL008-016002- c. 114m to the ENE.

• CL008-013004 Souterrain
  Description

  Situated in the NW sector of the interior of a cashel (CL008-013001-). This souterrain (L 14m) is defined by a line of parallel roof lintels, aligned NW-SE, that extend from the centre of the interior to the cashel wall at NW. It is inaccessible but in several places the drystone-walling of the passage is visible in gaps between the lintels. There is a children's burial ground (CL008-013005-) to the SE of it. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 23 August 2022

• CL008-013005 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Situated in the SE sector of the interior of a cashel (CL008-013001-), this possible children's burial ground comprises a circular area (diam. c. 9m) of rough ground and limestone rubble in which there are three parallel lines of upright limestone slabs (max. H 0.9m), oriented NW-SE. The lines are 1-1.4m apart. The slabs are larger than the grave-markers usually associated with a children’s burial ground suggesting they could also be the remains of a structure of some kind. There is a souterrain (CL008-013004-) immediately to the NW. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 23 August 2022

• CL008-013006 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In undulating rough pasture and outcropping limestone pavement, within a large multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). This circular platform (diam. 11m) is defined by a scarp (H 0.1m at N; max. H 1m at S). A spread of collapsed material (Wth 1-2m) lies on either side of it. The interior is level. Two other cashels (CL008-013002- and CL008-013001-) c. 31m to the E and c. 54m to the NE respectively.

• CL008-014 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In undulating pastureland and outcropping limestone pavement, with higher ground to the NE, within a large multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). Listed as 'Enclosure' in the RMP (1996). This truncated subcircular cashel (23m N-S; 17m E-W) is defined by a collapsed and grass-covered stone wall (original Wth 1.1m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.35m) and associated tumble (Wth 1.8-1.9m). The inner wall-face is visible intermittently, surviving up to two courses in height. The townland field boundary, oriented NW-SE, cuts across the limits of the SW quadrant of the interior; faint traces of a fosse and earthen bank are visible beside it. The interior is slightly concave. There is an enclosure (CL008-013003-) c. 94m to the NNW and a cashel (CL008-013002-) c. 108m to the WNW.

• CL008-015 Enclosure
  Description

  In undulating pastureland and limestone pavement. Hachured and named 'Glasha Fort’ on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Named ‘Glasha Fort (Site of)’ on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan. This levelled subcircular cashel (est. diam. c. 30m) is defined by a very slight and intermittent scarp, partly visible in satellite imagery (OSi MapGenie 2013-2018). This cashel was destroyed at some point after 1878 (Westropp 1905, 355). Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 10 January 2023

• CL008-016002 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a rise in undulating pastureland and outcropping limestone pavement, within a large multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). Hachured on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan and the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the RMP (1996). This subcircular cashel (26.7m N-S; 25m E-W) is defined by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 3.15-6m; int. H 0.25-0.55m; ext. H 1.3-1.7m); several courses of the outer wall-face are visible at S. A number of cattle gaps cut through the wall. No visible trace of the possible souterrain (CL008-016007-) noted by Westropp (1905, 355) was noted within the interior, where several piles of field-clearance rubble rest against the wall and a further one located in the centre. There is another cashel (CL008-016003-) c. 59m to the E, and an enclosure (CL008-013003-) c. 114m to the WSW.

• CL008-016003 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In a hollow in undulating pastureland and outcropping limestone pavement, within a large multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). Listed as 'Potential site - aerial photo' in the RMP (1996). This subcircular cashel (int. dims. 23.1m E-W; 22.2m N-S) is defined by a double-faced stone wall (Wth 1.5-2.1m; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 0.22-0.45m), which overlies and makes use of natural terraces in the limestone bedrock from NW-N and from SE-SW. The wall-faces survive to two/three courses in height, although at W it is obscured by rubble and overgrowth. Several animal gaps cut through the wall. Given that it is set within a natural hollow, the concave interior is 1.5m lower than the outer ground level. Another cashel (CL008-016002-) lies c. 59m to the W.

• CL008-016007 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the interior of a cashel (CL008-016002-). Westropp (1905, 355) noted ‘the entrance to a “cave” in the garth’. No visible surface trace of this possible souterrain was noted on inspection in August 1998. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 24 August 2022

• CL008-120 Enclosure
  Description

  On a slight pasture rise in an area of wet, rushy ground, with wide views to SW. A small subcircular area (int. diams. 12.3m E-W; 10m N-S; ext. dims. 16.7m E-W; 13.6m N-S) is defined by a low bank (Wth 1.6-2m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.3-0.4m). The perimeter has been damaged S-W-N. A N-S field bank abuts the E perimeter of the monument. There are entrance gaps at N (Wth 1.3m), S (Wth 1.2m) and WSW-W (Wth 3), some of which may be original. While the morphology is atypical, this may be the remains of a ringbarrow. See attachment: CL008-120----_01.JPG Aerial view from N 9Markus Casey, 1998).
