On the gentle S-facing slope of a plateau in rough pasture, at the W edge of a NW-SE ravine, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Indicated 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 (33m N-S; 30.5m E-W) is defined by a moss-covered collapsed stone wall (max. Wth 3m) on which is built a drystone wall (Wth at N 1.5m; int. H 0.5-1.2m; max. ext. H at N 1.7m). The N wall curves outward (i.e., to N), and the NE corner is rounded where it skirts the edge of the ravine.
An irregular structure (CL009-059125-) named ‘Ancient Dwelling’ on the 1920 OS 6-inch map is built against the E wall in the cashel interior. There is a possible house site (CL009-059126-) in the SW corner and a small cairn lies against the S wall.
