The National Monuments Service's description
On a NW-facing shoulder of a steep NE-SW ridge, within an extensive field system (CL010-064001-). A subcircular enclosure (c. 34m N-S; c. 32m E-W) defined by a grassed-over wall, visible on OSi MapGenie orthophotography (2013-2018). A possibly contemporary field wall extends W from the W perimeter and an enclosed area abuts the site at SW. Many ringforts and cashels occupy the same ridge. A subrectangular cashel (CL010-064066-) lies c. 86m to the NE and a hut site lies c. 90m to the NNW.
