The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level ground in gently undulating, generally S-facing, pasture. Circular area (diam. 32m) defined by a drystone rubble limestone wall (Wth 1m; H 0.4-1.8m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The cashel is un-coursed with larger boulders at the base and is highest SSE-NW. A NNE-WSW orientated drystone field wall crosses the E side of the site intersecting with the edge of the site at NE and at SSE. The cashel wall is absent NE-SSE and the site is defined by a very slight scarp. The original entrance is not recognisable. There is a modern break (Wth 2m) in the cashel wall at NNE.
