The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying level scrubland. This poorly preserved subrectangular cashel (27m ENE-WSW) is defined by an almost completely collapsed drystone wall; only intermittent traces of the inner and outer wall-facing survives. A field boundary clips the monument at SW and the NW sector is overlain by another field wall. The monument is almost completely obscured by overgrowth.
