The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on an unreclaimed area of limestone outcrop. A grass and scrub-covered area of about 41 acres (c. 15 ha) contains a high density of rectangular plots and house remains associated with lazy-bed cultivation and dating probably to the 18th or 19th century, but some walls could relate to an earlier field system. It contains the cashel (RO047-016001-) and the fields are overlaid by a pattern of 19th century field strips (Wth c. 25m) aligned WNW-ESE.
