The National Monuments Service's description
On a NW-facing terrace of a karst slope. Subcircular, grass-covered area (int. dims 31.5m NE-SW; 27.5m NW-SE) defined by the scant remains of a grass-covered double-faced stone wall (original Wth 1.5m; H 0.2-0.6m) which has gaps at SW (Wth 6m) and ESE (Wth 4m). There is a curving depression (dims 9.6m E-W; 6m N-S; D 1.5m), probably a quarry, surrounded by the remains of two drystone walls inside the perimeter at N. It is connected to cashel (RO035-064005-), which is c. 10m to the E, by the a stone spread (Wth 1.6m; H 0.2-0.4m).
