The National Monuments Service's description
In level pastureland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 44m) defined by a collapsed
drystone wall. A field wall overlies the enclosing element from NW through N to SE. A possible entrance gap at NE is marked by a number of upright slabs. A ruined field wall, running N-S, cuts through W half of the interior. A low mound, with traces of kerbing at NW and S, lies to the SE of it.
