On a ridge in rocky pasture. A circular area (int. diam. 24.7m E-W; 24.5m N-S) enclosed by a collapsed stone wall (Wth 2.7m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 1.2m). The wall is composed of a foundation course of large limestone boulders with internal and external facing of smaller stones retaining a rubble core. The entrance (Wth 1.7m) is at E. The interior slopes gently down to W. According to local information, stone was robbed from the cashel wall to build the road to S. Another cashel (SL044-055----) lies c. 30m to S.
