The National Monuments Service's description
In level pastureland. This poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 45m) was so densely overgrown on inspection in November 1982 that it was impossible to obtain any dimensions of the wall. A roadway cuts through it from NNE to SSW. A souterrain (GA114-162001-) is associated.
