What is recorded here
In scrubby pasture on the summit of ridge aligned E-W with panoramic views hindered by dense vegetation. Hachured on the 1840 OS 6-inch map. A subcircular cashel with an angular NE quadrant (int. 26.5m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (Wth at base 2m; Wth at top 1.75m; int. H 1.65m; ext. H 2m) encircled by a band of collapsed rubble (Wth 1-2m). Large stones predominate in the lower courses with small stones in the upper courses. The W side of the monument is completely overgrown. Four modern cattle gaps run through the wall and the location of the original entrance is unclear. The interior slopes gently down to the SE and has no visible features.
