The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly subcircular enclosure (c. 39m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) immediately to the NW of a farmhouse and yard. A small field occupied most of the interior. No visible surface trace survives but the field boundary curving from NNW to E may mirror its outline. Possibly a cashel as a number are located in the vicinity (see GA122-073----, GA122-111---- and GA122-112----).
