The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in pastureland. Poorly preserved and densely overgrown circular cashel (diam. 47.2m) defined by a drystone wall. Field-clearance rubble has been piled against the external wall-face at S. There is a souterrain (GA104-014003-) in the SW quadrant of the interior. A field system (GA104-014002-) lay immediately to the N; another possible rath (GA104-280----) lies c. 20m to the SW.
