The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 22m) defined by a stone bank (Wth 4.7m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.4m). No fosse is visible at ground level. The bank is made up of random rubble limestone. Larger blocks of limestone (av. dims. L 0.8m; Wth 0.6m; T 0.4m) are located sporadically along the external base of the bank as revetting. The original entrance is not recognisable. A modern sheep pen (dims. 1.8m NE-SW; 1.55m NW-SE) defined by two parallel drystone walls is located on the external side of the cashel bank at NE. A souterrain (SL003-023002-) is located in the NE quadrant of the interior.
