The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 32m) enclosed by an un-coursed rubble limestone wall (T 0.8m; H 1.5m). The wall appears to have been reconstructed in recent times and encloses the site E-SW with only the footings of the cashel wall surviving SW-E. Original entrance not recognisable.
