The National Monuments Service's description
Immediately to the SW of a cashel (GA113-068001-). This roughly D-shaped enclosure (57m E-W; 54m N-S) is defined by two earth and stone banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank and fosse are not visible along the N side. There is a causewayed entrance gap at S. Due to the presence of a large rubbish dump at NE, which obscures the monument, its exact relationship with the cashel is unclear.
