The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the centre of a cashel (MA073-030001-). A circular concentration of loose stones (2.5m NE-SW; 2m NW-SE) defined by an outer stony ring or possible wall (Wth c. 1-1.5m; H 0.5m). It is difficult to determine to what extent this is a built structure; some of the loose stone may simply be the result of clearance of rubble. Another possible circular hut site (MA073-030005-) is located 1m to WSW, and there is a souterrain (MA073-030003-) immediately to SW of that.
