Within that larger system sits a smaller, irregular field arrangement associated with nearby enclosures, and the whole complex contains some thirty-four cashels and twenty-six enclosures. A cashel, in this context, is a stone-walled ringfort, a form of enclosed farmstead common in early medieval Ireland, typically housing a single family and their livestock. The sheer density of cashels here, more than three dozen within a single coastal strip, suggests sustained and organised occupation over a long period rather than scattered, opportunistic settlement. The field boundaries themselves are irregular in shape, which is typical of early medieval land division, where walls followed the natural contours of the ground rather than any geometric plan. This network only became fully legible when examined through aerial photography taken between 2011 and 2018, the kind of bird's-eye perspective that dissolves centuries of gradual encroachment and allows older patterns to re-emerge.
