On an overgrown limestone-pavement terrace, within a large multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-); the ground immediately to the SE falls away steeply while a higher terrace, further SE, overlooks it. Indicated as a field wall 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 D-shaped cashel (int. dim. 38.5m SW-NE) is defined by a double-faced stone wall (Wth 3.25m; int. H 1.25m; ext. H 0.5-2m) from SW to NE; a straight side at SE is defined by a natural scarp (H 0.5m). The outer randomly coursed wall-face is visible from SW-NE; the inner wall-face survives intermittently and is one to two courses high. Two gaps (Wth c. 1-1.1m) at N and NE have been loosely filled with stones and both appear to be recent cattle gaps. Several field-clearance mounds are visible in the interior.
