The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in rough but improved pasture in the Caher valley, on the W. slope of a ridge. A small subcircular enclosure (int. dims. 12m E-W; 11m N-S) defined by a bank (av. Wth 2m; int. H 0.6-0.8m; ext. H 0.2-0.5m) of stone and earth with no evidence of facing or for an entrance. The interior is flat and featureless. A later field wall runs along it from SE-WSW. A cashel (CL005-007----) with a small southwestern annexe (CL005-007002-) is located 30m to the E.
