The National Monuments Service's description
In low undulating rough pasture within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Not listed in the SMR (1992) or the RMP (1996). This barely traceable subcircular cashel (est. c. 50m N-S; c. 45m E-W) is defined by a vague grass-covered collapsed wall/bank. Another cashel (CL009-204002-) overlies the S quadrant. There is a road/trackway (CL009-204005-) c. 44m to W, an enclosure (CL009-155001-) c. 70m to NW, and a house of indeterminate date (CL009-204004-) c. 73m to W.
