The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope with a number of terraces. An area of c. 30 ha has the remains of a field system consisting of rectangular fields (dims. c. 100m x c. 50m) defined by grass-covered earthen banks or scarps (Wth c. 2m; H 0.2m), or the base of stone walls. A relict field wall overlies cashel (RO006-068001-) and walls also overlie the spill of cashel (RO006-086003-). A house site (RO006-086010-) associated with the field walls is just E of cashel (RO006-086003-).
