On quite level limestone outcrop with some overgrowth but offering wide views, especially to the S, over the surrounding extensive multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). Hachured on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan and 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the RMP (1996). This well-preserved subcircular cashel (int. dims. 21.5 N-S; 19.25 E-W) is defined by a double-faced wall (Wth 1.72-2.4m; int. H 0.1-1.25m; ext. H 0.1-1.7m) which is slightly wider at the base. Lying flat on top of the wall at the WSW are three very large limestone slabs (max. L 2.8m). A possible hollow underneath them (obscured by wall tumble and overgrowth) suggests a partly exposed intramural chamber. A small rectangular animal shelter is built against the outer wall-face at the NNW. Within the very overgrown and stony interior of the cashel are several upright slabs. There is another cashel (CL008A003005-) c. 29m to the NE, another (CL008A003003-) c. 38m to the SW, and an enclosure (CL008A003009-) c. 84m to the NE.
