The National Monuments Service's description
In level partially reclaimed rock outcrop and pastureland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 25m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall from S through W to N. A field wall cuts through the monument from N to S and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the E of it. An E-W running field wall (L 30m), which may be contemporary, extends from the cashel wall at SW. Some 20m to SSW, the N half of a another small drystone-built circular enclosure (GA112-058002-) is visible; it may also be associated. (GASAP Roll 243: 29)
