In a slight hollow on elevated rough pasture, in a multiperiod field system (CL005-115001-). Indicated on the 1916 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996).
A moderately well preserved rectangular cashel (c. 27m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by an internally and externally faced wall (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.1m), best preserved at E. A faced and splayed entrance (int. Wth 2m; ext. Wth 2m) is in the centre of the E wall and a thickening in the W end of the S wall appears to have been to accommodate a rectangular hut site (CL005-079001-). A second semicircular hut site (CL005-079002-) abuts the centre of the S wall. An upright pillar stands in the entrance. Another cashel lies c. 90m to the NNW (CL005-078----).
