The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise on a plateau in an area of hazel growth, rough pasture and limestone pavement, with land sloping steeply to the W. Indicated on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan and 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This circular cashel (int. diam. c. 15.5m; ext. diam. c. 18.5m) is defined by a stone wall (H 1-1.6m; Wth c. 1.5m) and associated spill (combined Wth c. 6m). The outer wall-face, composed of large horizontally laid stones, is generally visible, especially from N to W, but it is difficult to trace its inner wall-face. There is a souterrain (CL009-102002-) in the W half of the interior.
