The National Monuments Service's description
At a cashel (SL011-088001-) Projecting out from the enclosing scarp of the cashel at SSW is a small square structure (dim. 2.7m). The other 3 sides of the structure are defined by very wide drystone-built walls (Wth. 2.7m). Only 3 stones of the wall at the ESE side are still upstanding.
