The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle W-facing slope in overgrown rough pasture and undulating karstic pavement, within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). This subcircular enclosure (22m E-W; 21m N-S) is defined by a band (Wth 3-4m) of uneven ground and overgrowth, with several metres of limestone outer revetment visible at S. The interior is clear of overgrowth. There is a cashel (CL008A003005-) c. 38m to WSW, and another cashel (CL008A003007-) c. 108m to ENE.
