On the S edge of a limestone ridge in elevated rocky pasture with good views to the S and E. Within a multiperiod field system (CL005-227004-). Depicted as an enclosure on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. Noted by Westropp (1899, 380) as a ‘a very small circular fort, with walls 5 feet thick, and barely 3 feet or 4 feet high; the gateway faced south’. A subcircular cashel (21m NNE-SSW; 19.5m WNW-ESE) defined by a stone wall (Wth 1m). Segments of outer wall-facing survive from NW to NNE (H 1.7m) and at the WSW. Inner facing is only evident at the NNW (H 1.3m). The wall has been rebuilt around much of the monument. A gap at SSE (Wth 1.5m) appears to be original; breaks in the wall fabric at the NNE and WNW appear modern. A small internal structure (CL005-141006-) abuts the SE cashel wall. A rectilinear cashel (CL005-141002-) is located c. 15m to the SSE and another cashel (CL005-140001-) lies c. 110m to the NNW.
