The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise of rock outcrop on a W-facing slope and in the W part of the interior of cashel (LE007-019----). Inside the inner wall of the cashel there is a grass and scrub-covered stony trench (Wth 2.5m; L 8m; D 0.3-0.5m) extending E towards the centre. No displaced lintels or walling can be seen and nor is there a spoil heap but it may be a souterrain.
