The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland. This possible cashel, roughly circular in plan (c. 23m NE-SW), is visible on current aerial imagery (Geohive MapGenie Imagery (2013-2018) and OSi Digitaglobe (2011-2013)). It is defined by an overgrown stone spread from NE-S. A field wall overlies it from S-W and a kink in this wall appears to mirror the outline of the cashel wall. Another field boundary cuts across it from W-NE and no visible trace of the cashel wall is evident to the NW of it. A third field wall extends off it at E.
