On level reclaimed pastureland at the NE end of low narrow NE–SW ridge with short but steep slopes falling away from the site to W, N and E, within a field system (CL006-036001-). Indicated on the 1915 ed. of the 6-inch OS map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A very poorly preserved roughly circular cashel (int. dims. 23m N–S; 22.1m E–W) defined by a collapsed stone spread (Wth 2.7–4.1m; int. H 0.1–0.3m; ext. H 0.2–1.1m) on top of which is a later tumbled drystone wall. Occasional outer cashel facing-stones survive at S, W and E but no inner facing-stones are obviously visible and there is no trace of an entrance. The perimeter is 90% thorn and briar covered and there is a clump of briar and thorn in the interior to W of centre. It is overlooked by a another cashel (CL006-036003-) c. 150m to the SSW and a third cashel is visible c. 150m to the NNE (CL006-036005-).
