The National Monuments Service's description
On the crest of a rise in pastureland. Circular cashel (diam. 30m), in fair condition, defined by a collapsed drystone wall (base Wth 4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.85m). A field wall cuts across the monument at WSW and SSE. Two hollows in the interior appear to be the result of quarrying.
