The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in otherwise level pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 26.8m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall; no visible surface trace survives at E. A field wall overlies the enclosing element from W to N. There is a souterrain (GA114-033001-) in the NW quadrant of the interior. (McCaffrey 1952, 281, no. 53)
