The National Monuments Service's description
On a densely wooded rise in an area of mixed undulating pasture and overgrown crag. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This heavily overgrown subcircular cashel (int. diam. 15.7m N-S; ext. diam. 23m N-S) is defined by moss-covered wall collapse (Wth 3-4m; H 0.7-1.1m).
