On a hill summit in undulating grassland. This poorly preserved cashel consists of an almost circular area (NW-SE c. 24.2m, NE-SW c. 23.5m) defined by a collapsed grassed-over drystone wall from E through S to N, and by a scarp from N to E. An irregularly shaped annexe (c. 13m by c. 9m), defined by a grass-covered collapsed stone wall, abuts the cashel wall at E. Traces of old field walls are visible to W.
