The National Monuments Service's description
On the E-facing slope of a large ridge over-looking a valley, in a large multiperiod field system (CL005-014001-). Hachured on the 1916 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Earthwork’ in the RMP (1996).
A moderately well-preserved roughly circular cashel (19.2m NW-SE; 17m NE-SW) defined by a collapsed stone wall (Wth 1.6m; max. H 1.1m) from SSW to NW and elsewhere by a grassed-over bank of collapsed stone. Outer-wall facing is evident from SSW to NW and inner facing (max. H 0.8m) is evident at NW and SE. There is no clear trace of an entrance, and the interior is featureless. A larger enclosure (CL005-254----) is located c. 30m to the N.
