In rough pasture and limestone outcrop, the ground to W sloping steeply, and within a large multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). Listed as 'Enclosure' in the RMP (1996). A subcircular cashel (int. dims. 17.5m N-S; 15m E-W) defined by a low collapsed and grass-covered wall and associated tumble (Wth 3-4m; H 0.35-0.6m); the outer wall-face (H 0.25m) is traceable at the SW. The N edge of the perimeter was cut by a later field boundary. The interior is level.
