The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 22m) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 1.5m; int. H 1.6m). From NNW-SW the stone wall has been removed and the edge of the site is defined by a slight scarp (ext. H 0.2m). The surviving wall has been largely rebuilt and incorporated into N-S orientated field walls that link to the cashel wall at SW and NNW. An E-W orientated field wall links to the cashel bank at NNW. The location of the original entrance is unclear.
