The National Monuments Service's description

Marked as a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 45m N-S; c. 30m E-W) cut by a field wall and townland boundary with Feacle at E on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a subrectangular field (dims c. 25m x 25m) on the 1915 ed. Situated on a knoll towards the top of a SW-facing slope, it is not visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture. It was probably a cashel. Rath (RO048-124----) is c. 180m to the S.
