The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in rough pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 34m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall, which is overlain by a later field wall. The remains of a semicircular structure (Wth 1.8m) are visible in S half of the interior. Gaps at SE and S appear to be modern.
