In elevated rocky pasture, on a slight SW-facing slope. An oval slightly raised area (24m N-S; 19m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.6m) consisting of limestone rubble and some larger limestone boulders. The interior is rocky and undulating and slopes gently down to SW. There is a Man-made underground passage (SL028-021002-) in the SE quadrant. A roughly circular annexe (diam. 24m) (SL028-021003-) is conjoined to the cashel at SW. It is defined by a degraded stone wall (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m) which joins the cashel wall at S and SW. The interior of the annexe is level and strewn with moss-covered rocks.
