That layering, old boundary swallowed by newer one, is itself a small summary of how the Irish countryside accumulates and conceals its past.

What survives is a cashel, the term used for a ringfort enclosed by a drystone wall rather than an earthen bank. Where earthwork ringforts were shaped from soil and turf, cashels were built from stone, and in the limestone country of Connacht they were once relatively common. This one is subcircular in plan, measuring roughly 32 metres east to west and 30 metres north to south, though those dimensions are now traced more by inference than by standing masonry. The wall has long since collapsed, and a field boundary has been laid over it, making the original enclosure difficult to read on the ground. What gives the site its quiet interest is its company: another ringfort lies immediately to the north, and a third sits approximately 100 metres to the south-east. This kind of clustering is not unusual in early medieval Ireland, where ringforts served as the enclosed farmsteads of a farming society, and related households sometimes settled in close proximity across a single townland.
