The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in low-lying grassland and rock outcrop, c. 50m S of a stream. Well-preserved subcircular cashel (29.9m NW-SE; 26.4m N-S) defined by a drystone wall overlain by a later field wall at S. A gap at N appears to be modern. The grassed-over foundations of a possible house site (GA128-037001-) are evident in the centre of the interior.
