On an E-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 37.2m) defined by a drystone wall. A drystone-built rectangular structure (L 2.5m; Wth 2m), which overlies the wall at NW, is the remains of a limekiln. A field wall overlies the enclosing wall at E and another surrounds it at N.
