The National Monuments Service's description
Visible as a circular stone-walled enclosure (diam. c. 35m) divided into three by field walls of the modern field system on vertical aerial photographs (GSIAP: M 472-3), and situated on an undulating landscape. The land has been reclaimed although the dividing field walls are still in place, but the enclosure is not visible now at ground level in pasture. It is probably a cashel.
