The National Monuments Service's description
On the E-facing slopes of a ridge with views from S to NW, within a multiperiod field system (CL005-014001-). Hachured on the 1916 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A moderately well-preserved, small, roughly circular cashel (13.6m E-W; 13m N-S) defined by a wall (Wth 1-1.6m; max. H 1m) with intermittently surviving inner and outer facing-stones, and narrow flags set on their end used in the construction. Some low foundations in the SE quadrant may be contemporary. Enclosures are located c. 180m to the W (CL005-261----) and 160m to the E (CL005-258----).
