The National Monuments Service's description
On a low hill in grassland. Subcircular cashel (c. 38m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW), in fair condition,
defined by a collapsed grassed-over drystone wall best preserved at NW. The enclosing element is obscured by overgrowth and a later field boundary overlies it at NE.
