The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a rise, with a gradual fall of ground to N−NE.
Indicated on the 1838 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps as an oval enclosure (c. 28m N−S; c. 23m E−W), named ‘Cashelbeg’. It has been destroyed; a slight oval rise (diam. c. 20m) is still discernible, crossed on its S edge by field wall on a roughly E−W axis.
