Internal diam. 26.8m N-S, 25m E-W This roughly circular caher is located close to a cliff-edge on the E side of the Cummeragh river, which flows into Lough Currane a short distance to S. The site is enclosed by a substantial wall which consists of a core of stone and earth faced internally and externally with drystone masonry. The internal facing is largely collapsed. Externally the wall is well-built of rough horizontal coursing and features a slight batter at base. It averages 3m high externally, is 3m in average width and stands to a maximum internal height of 1.1m. A 2.6m wide entrance gap is located at S. The interior of the site is level with no apparent features. Cork University Press (1996), no. 605.
