The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a small knoll in gently undulating pasture. Circular area (diam. 24m) enclosed by a wall (int. H 1.4m; ext. H 1.8-3m; T 2.2m) made up of a facing of large un-coursed with a fill of smaller rubble between. No fosse visible. From NW-N both faces of the wall have collapsed leaving a stone bank. The external face of the surviving wall has collapsed NNE-NW and N-E. The footings of N-S orientated relic field walls abut the external face of the cashel wall at SE and at SW. A NW-SE orientated field wall links to the cashel wall at NW. The original entrance, lined on either side by single parallel rows of large boulders extending 4m from the external face of the wall is via a break (Wth 4m) in the wall at W.
