At the edge of a plateau, in rough pasture and bushes within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-074001-), with land immediately to N-NE sloping into Poulacarran Valley. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Referred to by Westropp (1898, 359) as a ‘coarsely built, much dilapidated irregular caher’. This perhaps subcircular cashel (diam. c. 28m ENE-WSW) has been partly levelled; only its S half is extant. It is defined by a scarp (Wth at S 3.4m; H 1.6m) from E to SW. Scant remains of an outer wall-face are traceable from E to SW. A later drystone wall is built over this (combined H 1m) from S to SW. A cashel (CL009-219----) lies c. 77m to the SE.
