The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in grassland. This poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 29.5m) is defined by a collapsed drystone wall from SSE through W to NNW that is overlain by a field wall. Another field wall cuts the monument from NNE to SSE, immediately to E of which lies a railway line. A disused trackway cuts it from NNW to NE. There is a souterrain (GA123-062001-) and a children's burial ground (GA123-062002-) within the interior.
