The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating grassland. Circular cashel (diam. 33.5m), in fair condition, defined by a grassed-over wall. Slight traces of a possible external fosse are visible at NW. A gap (Wth 4m) at ESE may be original. A possible souterrain (GA105-180001-) lies in the N sector of the interior.
