H 1m) that has some bushes with an outer fosse (at E: Wth of top 5.3m; Wth of base 1.2m) NE-S-SW, and an external bank (at E: Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.2m) surviving ENE-SE. There is an eroded causeway (Wth 4.3m) at SSW. The monument is bisected by a NE-SW field wall and features hardly survive NW of this. Cashel (RO048-052----) is c. 20m to the SE.
