The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on level ground, stone-strewn and broken by seams of limestone bedrock, and traversed by relict field walls, overlooked to N by the steeply rising slope of Twomile Stone ridge. Ground falls away gradually to S, giving good views of surrounding pastureland. This cashel has been levelled and its outline is barely discernible. It consists of a subcircular or broadly oval area (c. 22.5m E–W; c. 20m N–S) defined by wall footings. The wall is evident as a very low moss- and sod-covered stony rise (Wth c. 1.5-2m) which can be traced in a broad curve E–WNW but is more difficult to trace elsewhere. Relict field walls, also evident as little more than low stony rises, radiate from the enclosure at SW, W and NNE, and a ruined field wall bisects the interior on a ENE–WSW axis. There is a partly collapsed, stone-built souterrain (DG107-125001-) in the E half of the interior.
