The National Monuments Service's description
Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (32m NNW-SSE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall from SSE through W to NNW. A field wall cuts the monument at NNW and SSE and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to NE of it. (Holt 1912, 232; McCaffrey 1952, 177, no. 1)
