Cashel - "...although it was almost certainly circular originally. The surrounding wall stands c.1m high & is largely built of granite boulders. It is well built,faced on both sides, varying 1.2m-3.4m thick. As it stands now, the wall may be essentially recent, but it probably reflects the outline of a genuine cashel. A gap 1.8m wide on E side also appears recent, but could mark an earlier entrance."
