On a gentle WNW-facing slope with wide views from S to N and limited views in the direction of Leamaneh hill to the WSW; within an extensive field system (CL017-180----). Hachured on the 1916 OS 6-inch map with house structures (CL016-049002- and CL016-049003-) depicted in the centre. Described by Westropp (1913, 254) as ‘a ring-wall of poor coarse crag slabs nearly levelled when some houses were built in it’.
A circular cashel (ext. diam. 47m N-S) defined by a stone spread on which a drystone wall was built from W to N (H 1.3m in the N). The original cashel wall width (Wth 1.45m) can be made out at S. A field wall aligned WSW-ENE crosses the cashel to the N of the centre. Two later house structures (CL016-049002- and CL016-049003-) S of the field wall occupy a D-shaped platform (L c. 20m; Wth c. 10m) defined along the periphery by a dip. Another cashel (CL016-166----) is located c. 34m to the NE.
