The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in improved pasture, with good views to S and SW. Indicated on the first edition (1842) and hachured on the later, Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. This largely overgrown subcircular cashel (int. diam. 17m NW-SE) is defined by a stone and earth bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.2m) at NW-SSE. The rest of the perimeter is overlain by field-clearance material. There is a probable original entrance gap (Wth 2m) at SSE. The monument is bisected by a later field wall running WNW-ESE, which has been levelled outside the cashel. A cashel (CL010-082----) lies c. 60m to the WSW.
