The National Monuments Service's description
In scrubland and rock outcrop. Redington (1916, 53) recorded a cashel, ‘Caherdiveane’, and noted that
while no traces of the ‘caher’ survived, a ‘semi-circular single wall, which may occupy its site, partly surrounds the mouth of a souterrain (GA096-042001-). Not located. (McCaffrey 1952, 153)
