The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight W-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 18m) enclosed by a bank of rubble limestone (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.3m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The site is bisected by a NE-SW orientated drystone field wall. The cashel bank is best preserved to the SE of the wall with the external basal facing surviving E-SE. To the NW of the wall only the internal and external basal facing survives consisting of slabs set on edge 1.9m apart. The original entrance is not recognisable. The SE side of the interior is strewn with rubble.
