The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying reclaimed pastureland. This poorly preserved and heavily overgrown cashel (47.5m N-S; 46.5m E-W) is almost circular in plan. It is defined by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 2.7m at E; int. H 0.5m) that is overlain by a later field wall from SW through N to ENE; elsewhere it is delimited by a grassed-over bank of earth and stone.
