The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the level summit of a broad N-S orientated ridge with natural ground level sloping down gently from the site NE-NW. Circular area (diam. 25m) defined by a drystone wall of rubble limestone (Wth 4m; int. H 0.6-1m). Immediately outside this wall is a berm (Wth 4m) and an external stone wall (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.6-0.8m). The internal and external stone walls have largely collapsed the form banks of rubble limestone. The original facing of un-coursed, roughly quarried, blocks of limestone (av. dims. L1m; Wth 1m; T 0.4m) survives sporadically on the internal wall and is absent from the external wall. From NE-SE the internal side of the bank has been rebuilt as a drystone field wall. Modern field walls have been built on top of the collapsed outer cashel wall SE-NW. The original entrance is not recognisable.
