The National Monuments Service's description
In dense woodland on a S/SW-facing slope. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This very poorly preserved cashel is defined by a bank (Wth 3.5m; H 1-1.5m) of jumbled stones some of which are large. The enclosing line is curved along the S while from N to E it is straight.
