In elevated rocky pasture, on a level area on the S-facing slopes of a hill with higher ground to the N and clear views to the S. Within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL005-160001-). Not shown on the 1840 OS 6-inch map; indicated as a partial enclosure on the 1916 edition. Marked on Tim Robinson’s Burren map (1977). Listed as ‘Rectangular enclosure’ on the RMP (1996). A subrectangular cashel (36m NW-SE), defined by a drystone wall surviving on the N, E and W sides, and completely robbed out on the S. The walls are slightly bowed and the corners are rounded. The wall is composed of thin flat slabs and is battered. Outer wall-facing (H 0.8-1.3m) survives along most of the wall. An original entrance is located to the SSE (Wth 1.6m). It is faced on its S side with a large collapsed lintel lying in the opening. A second rubble-filled break (Wth 3m) can be found to the E. The interior is uneven, falling to the NW, W and SE. A possible hut site abutting the cashel wall at NW may be contemporary. The monument has been extended to the S to form a larger subrectangular enclosure (c. 58m N-S). A cashel (CL005-160029-) is located c. 40m to the W.
