The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle rise in undulating pastureland. Roughly circular cashel (diam. c. 21.9m), in fair condition, defined by a collapsed and overgrown drystone wall (base Wth 3.8m; Wth at top 0.9m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.9m). No facing stones are visible. A gap at SSW appears to be modern. (Redington 1912a, 175; McCaffrey 1952, 205-6, no. 17)
