On a gentle rise in marshy rough pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 36m) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 2.6m; ext. H 1.1m; int. H 0.5m), which is overlain by a later field wall. A stone-filled hollow, possibly a collapsed Man-made underground passage (GA095-032001-), lies within the interior. (McCaffrey 1952, 129, no. 59a)
