The National Monuments Service's description
On a moderately steep W-facing slope surrounded by rough outcropping rock and rough grazing and situated within the field system (CL002-033001-) on the E side of the valley between Gleninagh ‘Mountain’ and Cappanawalla Hill. A possible cashel (diam. c. 25m) indicated by a solid line on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This was noted and reported to the National Monuments Service by Ros Ó Maoldúin. Several cashels and hut sites lie within the field system. The closest (CL002-033002-) lies c. 100m to the SE.
