The National Monuments Service's description
Located close to the centre of the interior a cashel (GA113-096----). Described by McCaffrey (1952, 269, no. 9) as 'a flag-lined depression of some 9' x 4' [2.75m by 1.2m]'. What survives is
a slightly curved structure (L 2.2m; Wth 0.8m; H 0.2m), running roughly NNW-SSE, which is defined by three boulders set on edge on the W side and four on the E side. The S end is closed off by a single grassed-over boulder. Possibly the remains of hut site.
