The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW sector of a cashel (CL035-044----). A subcircular area (c. 10m N-S; c. 8m E-W) defined by a grass-covered drystone wall (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.2m; Wth at top 3.3m; overall Wth 4.65m). The drystone wall is incorporated into the enclosing elements of the cashel from SE to NW. From NW to NE and from E to SE it has spread out due to collapse. There is a possible entrance (Wth 1.1m) at E. The interior is generally level and grass covered. A hut site (CL035-044002-) and a house site (CL035-044003-) are located in the N sector.
