The National Monuments Service's description
On a little plateau with a cliff (H c. 4m) from W to NE and within an extensive field system (CL009-059001-). Listed as ‘Enclosure Possible’ in the RMP (1996). A subcircular area (est. dims. c. 35m N-S; c. 35m E-W) is defined by a cliff W-NE and by a drystone wall from NE to S. A section of the original wall is visible at S (L c. 10m; Wth 1.5m) under the drystone wall. The interior slopes from the centre to the perimeter at N and W. A modern house is immediately adjacent to the S. A cashel (CL016-020019-) is located c. 73m to the ENE and an enclosure (CL016-020018-) is located c. 88.5m to the NE.
