The National Monuments Service's description
Some 130m to the WSW of another cashel (GA123-085----). Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (c. 25m E-W; c. 20m N-S). Apart from the arc of a drystone wall running from SE through S to W, no visible surface trace survives. A hay barn occupied the interior. A gravel pit lies outside the enclosing element from S to W.
