The National Monuments Service's description
In level pastureland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (38m N-S; 32m E-W) defined by two collapsed drystone walls which are partially obscured by field-clearance rubble. Within the interior are numerous low banks of earth and stone, which may be associated internal divisions. A possible house site (GA084-121001-) lies in NW quadrant. (Knox 1918b, 106, no. 3)
