The National Monuments Service's description
On the level summit of slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised roughly circular area (dims. 19m E-W; 18m N-S) enclosed by a stone bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.45m). The stone bank encloses the site NW-SE. From SE-NW, the edge of the site is densely overgrown and inaccessible so it not possible to determine if the bank is extant here. A modern drystone field wall (H 1m; T 0.4m) has been constructed on top of the stone bank NW-E. The original entrance to the site is not recognisable. Drystone field walls link to the cashel bank at NW and at NNE.
