The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S-facing slope in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-).
Indicated on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan and the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This heavily overgrown
circular cashel (diam. c. 25m) is defined by a denuded stone wall (est. Wth c. 3m; est. max. H 1m),
the outer face of which is visible at S. There is extensive stone spread (Wth 5-6m) inside and outside
the wall. An enclosure (CL009-059034-) and a cashel (CL009-059033-) lie 50m and 120m to the NW respectively. A cairn (CL009-177----) lies c. 90m to the SW.
