The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1943 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as the north-eastern of two attached enclosures that are described in gothic lettering as 'Cashel'. It is situated on rock outcrop in a deep NE-SW valley at the S edge of the Tullyskeherny plateau, and it is unplanted but overgrown with blackthorn in a coniferous forest. This is a subcircular area (int. dim. c. 12m) defined by a stone wall (Wth c. 1m; H c. 1m), and it is attached to the NE of cashel (LE011-106001-).
