The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland. Subcircular cashel (41.5m E-W; 33.8m N-S), in fair condition, defined by a
drystone wall. A field wall has been built against it but does not entirely obscure it as original external wall-facing is visible in places. (Redington 1916a, 56; McCaffrey 1952, 153-4, no. 27)
