On a rise in undulating rough pastureland and outcropping limestone pavement that slopes gently to the SW and steeply to WNW and within a large multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). Hachured on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan and the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the RMP (1996). This subrectangular cashel (c. 28m NE-SW; c. 24m NW-SE) is defined from E-S by a grass-covered stone wall and tumble (base Wth 5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m). From S-W it decreases in height (int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.3m) and narrows in width (Wth 6m at S; Wth 1.5m). There are two animal gaps at SW. From WNW-E it is defined by a scarp (H 0.25-1m). A possible souterrain (CL008-008003-) is evident in the NE sector of the perimeter. In the S centre of the interior an L-shaped bank (Wth 1m; H 0.1m) of earth and stone, oriented SW-NE and then turning NW, may be the remains of an internal division. Another possible internal division is visible on OSi Aerial Premium aerial imagery (2013-2018). Several grass-covered field walls abut the cashel from E-W. There is a possible cashel (CL008-008001-) c. 40m to the WNW. (Westropp 1905, 357)
