The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW sector of ‘Craggagh fort’, a large poorly preserved cashel (CL004-016002-). An E–W orientated souterrain visible as a hollow (L 10m; W 5m; max. D 1.2m), along the southern edge of which runs an arcing bank of stone. A circular hut site (CL004-016035-) is located N of its E end, in the centre of the cashel and later field walls subdivide the cashel in three.
