The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level summit of elongated E-W orientated hill in pasture. Circular area (diam. 21m) enclosed by a limestone wall (int. H 1.35m; ext. H 1.65m; T 2.05m). There is no indication of a fosse at ground level. The wall is constructed of un-mortared, un-coursed rubble limestone. An infilled break (Wth 4m) in the cashel wall at SSW may mark the position of the original entrance. There is a modern break (Wth 1m) through the cashel wall at N.
