The National Monuments Service's description

On a rock outcrop knoll overlooking a basin c. 200m to the W. Subcircular grass-covered area (int. dims 33m E-W; 28m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 5-7m; H 0.2-0.8m) with facing-stones intermittently visible (at S: original Wth 2.2m). There is no identifiable original entrance, but the perimeter is overlain by a drystone wall and the monument is bisected by a NNE-SSW field wall, while other drystone field walls are attached to the perimeter at NW, NE, SE and SW. The cashel is within an outer enclosure (dims c. 100m N-S; c. 100m E-W) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (max. Wth 3m; max. H 0.8m) which is frequently reduced to low scarps and survives only SW-W-NE.
