The National Monuments Service's description
At the base of a natural slope a stone spread (Wth c. 2m) is concentric with a cashel wall (CL016-020014-) from ENE to SSW (c. 10m from the cashel wall) forming an annexe. Radial walls extend from this spread towards the cashel from ENE to S. All of the walls are in a collapsed state except a drystone wall at the S. The relationship to the cashel is unclear and this may represent the remains of a concentric enclosure. Another ringfort-cashel (CL016-020013-) is located c. 60m to the NNW.
