In grassland and rock outcrop. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 50m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall, which is overlain by a field wall from S to W. Only very slight traces are evident from W to N. A boreen cuts through the monument at N and S and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to E of it.
