The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle rise in an area of grassland and rock outcrop. Marked on the 3rd edition (1922) of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly curving subcircular field wall (c. 40m NE-SW). The remains of a much-collapsed but substantial wall, possibly the remains of a cashel wall, are visible beneath it in the NE quadrant.
