The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on aerial photographs (GSAIP: M 470-59) as a D-shaped feature (dims c. 30m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE) truncated by a NNE-SSW field wall at SE, and situated on a SSE-facing slope. It is not visible at ground level in pasture but it was probably a cashel.
