The National Monuments Service's description
In level pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 34m) defined by a collapsed
drystone wall. A modern field wall overlies the enclosing element from W to N and borders it externally at E. At NE one course of wall-facing, composed of large boulders, is visible. No trace of the wall survives at S.
