In level pastureland. Very well-preserved circular cashel (diam. 30m) defined by a drystone wall (H 2.25m; Wth 2.28m), which is faced both internally and externally with massive limestone blocks. It is partly obscured by field-clearance rubble at S. There is an entrance gap (Wth 2.15m at ESE. The remains of at least four rectangular structures are visible within the interior; those at N and S are contemporary with the cashel wall and may be house sites. Those in the centre and to the W appear to have been modified and remodelled as a limekilns. (SMR file; Korff and O'Connell 1985)
