On a high point of limestone outcrop commanding wide views all around, and within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the RMP (1996). A subcircular cashel (int. dims. 34.25m E-W; 33m N-S) defined by a double-faced wall (Wth 2.22-2.85m; max. int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.3-1.48m). From E to S the wall has mostly collapsed (Wth c. 3-4m). From SW to NW a later field wall was built over the inner wall-face. A NW-SE field wall and overgrowth cover the outer wall-face at NE. Foundations of a house (CL008A003011-) occupy the centre of the cashel. Several overgrown piles of rubble lie around the edge of the undulating interior. Another cashel (CL008A003004-) lies c. 38m to the NE and there is an enclosure (CL008-144----) c. 107m to the SW.
