In pasture, located on the level W end of a limestone terrace, on the lower NE-facing slopes of a limestone hill named Red Hill on the 1913 OS 6-inch map. The terrace is defined on the NW–N by a steep, almost vertical drop (H c. 5m) broken by limestone outcropping. Broadly oval area (22m N–S; c. 26m E–W) defined by a ruined stone wall. The collapsed wall is visible as a low, sod-covered stony rise (Wth c. 3m). On its inner edge it is more or less flush with interior ground level but it has a more pronounced external slope (ext. H 0.6-0.8m). At NNE–NE several in situ limestone blocks are visible, representing the basal course of the external wall face. The original entrance may be at SSW where there is a low area or gap (Wth 2m) in the wall. The grass-covered interior has a slight slope down to E. Immediately to W of the cashel, the terrace drops to a lower level, where there is an enclosure (SL019-017----).
