The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 25m) defined by a bank of rubble limestone (Wth 4.1m; int. H 0.4m). No fosse is visible at ground level. The site has been divided by a NE-SW orientated field boundary that crosses the bank at NE and at SSW. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior of the site is level, densely overgrown across the NW two-thirds and heavily trampled by livestock across the SE one-third. According to local information a souterrain (SL005-042002-) is located within this cashel.
