The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, in a hollow between high ground to the N and S. These relict field walls (T 0.5m; H c. 1m), which are in a collapsed condition, surround a cashel (KE086-001001-). The bases of the walls appear to be ancient and similar to the walls around the cashel. The remainder of the field walls may have been rebuilt in more recent times. These field walls are clearly visible in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, W 135-134) taken in 1973.
