The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the bottom of a gentle N-facing slope on grass-covered karst and within a very large field system (CL010-064001-). The eastern of two conjoined circular enclosures (see also CL010-064085-, and hut site CL010-064086-) with a number of irregular related fields adjoining to the N. A circular area (int. dims. 17.6m N-S; 18.8m E-W) defined by a stone spread (H. 0.3-0.6m; Wth 2.4m at N to 3.9m at W). A drystone wall is built on top of the stone spread from SW to ENE. From there it extends ENE on top of an old field wall of similar construction to the cashel wall. An entrance feature at ESE (Wth1-1.1m) consists of two slabs laid across the line of the wall.
