The National Monuments Service's description
On a W-facing slope in pastureland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 29m) defined
by a drystone wall which is only visible from S to SW where it is incorporated into a modern field wall. From NW to N a slight scarp indicates the line of the monument and its line is also preserved in a curving field boundary at NE.
