The National Monuments Service's description
On a NNW-facing slope in grassland, c. 150m S of the Beagh River. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (40m E-W; 36m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall best preserved at W. A gap at WSW appears to be modern. The enclosing element is overlain by a field wall at W, and at NE it is obscured by dense scrub growth.
