The National Monuments Service's description
At the base of an E-facing step (H c. 1.5m) on karst pavement with grass and moss cover, and within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). This subcircular enclosure (int. dims. 11.6m N-S; 10.3m E-W) is defined by a moss-covered collapsed wall (Wth 1.5-3m; H 0.5m; H at E 0.8m). The W arc of the wall (est. int. H 1m; ext. H 0.2m) is built on the lower slope of the natural step in the landscape. There are moss- and grass-covered collapsed walls adjacent to the enclosure at E-W. A cashel (CL009-059054-) lies c. 22m to the WSW. A hut site (CL009-059052-) lies c. 78m to the SW. Another cashel (CL009-059056-) lies c. 108m to the S.
