The National Monuments Service's description
Within a rectangular cashel (CL005-160017-) in elevated rocky pasture within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL005-160001-). The possible footings of a subcircular structure lie just E of exposed rock outcrop towards the centre of the cashel. They were described by Westropp (1899, 372) as a ‘defaced circular cloghaun’ (int. diam. c. 3.6m). The footings are visible on OSi MapGenie 2013-2018 orthophotographs.
