The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle E-facing slope in undulating pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). This subcircular cashel (int. dims. 20.5m NW-SE; 19.6m NE-SW; ext. dims. 25m NW-SE; 24m NE-SW) is defined by grass-covered stone spill and the denuded remains of a double-faced wall (Wth 2.3m at WNW; H 0.4-0.5m), the facing stones of which are traceable in places.
