Internal diam. 14.3m N-S, 17m E-W Situated on a level shelf on the NE side of Knag, just E of a S flowing stream, this ruined and overgrown caher affords a panoramic outlook to S. The fields in its immediate vicinity have been recently cleared, but the site itself remains largely undisturbed. Its enclosing wall consists of internal and external facing with a rubble core infill. The inner face is obscured by overgrowth and is largely flush with the level of the interior of the site. The wall is 2.3m wide and is preserved to an average external height of .7m. Collapse abuts its external face along the S sector. It is not clear where the entrance to the caher was located. An overgrown stony mound, 5.8m in diameter, occupies the SW quadrant of the site's interior. Incorporated into the mound is an upright slab, a large recumbent slab, 2.3m long, and a massive boulder. This feature may represent field clearance debris or may mark the infilled entrance to a Man-made underground passage (KE098-014001-) which is locally reputed to exist in the caher.
