The National Monuments Service's description
In rough grazing land. Poorly preserved roughly circular cashel (diam. 20.5m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall that is overlain by a later field boundary. The external wall-face is not visible due to dense overgrowth, which in most part is impenetrable. A possible souterrain (GA103-163001-) is associated.
