On a W-facing slope with commanding views from WSW to N and within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL004-016001-). Indicated on the 1915 OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996).
An oval cashel (ext. dims. 29.5m E-W; 24.7m N-S; int. dims. 28.2m E-W; 23.3m N-S) defined by a partly collapsed wall (T 0.5m at E; T 0.8m at W) which has been demolished from NNE to ENE. The original outer wall-facing survives intermittently (max. H 1m at N and W). A wall (L c. 4m) which is partially obscured by rubble extends from W to NW inside the main cashel wall and may be contemporary. A gap (Wth 4m) at SW may be modern. A pile of rubble lies in the NNE interior and may be recent and a modern shed overlaps the cashel wall at SE. A roughly circular house foundation (CL004-016032-) abuts the interior of the cashel wall at E.
