The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pasture with clear views to N. Indicated on the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This large subcircular cashel (int. diam. 62m NNE-SSW) is defined by a substantial, but largely rebuilt, double-faced stone wall (Wth 1.2-1.7m) which survives highest (int. H 1-1.4m; ext. H 1.4-2m) SE-W-NW, but is much reduced NW-NE where it is almost level with the interior and only the base of the outer wall-face is visible, overlaid by a later drystone wall. There is a modern entrance gap (Wth 3m) at NNW and the enclosing wall has been removed NE-E-SE.
