The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in level farmland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (29m WSW-ENE; 25m N-S) defined by a drystone wall that is much obscured by overgrowth. Field walls overlie the monument from WNW to N and from E through S to W, where the wall is much collapsed. A souterrain (GA123-052001-) lies in WSW sector of the interior.
