On a low rise, in native woodland, c. 27m to SSW of a modern dwelling. Depicted on the 1921 edition of the OS 6-inch map and the OS 25-inch map as an oval enclosure (c. 20m N-S; c. 24m E-W) defined by a single enclosing element. Archaeological monitoring of topsoil stripping immediately to the N in advance of the building of a new dwelling (Finn 1999; 2000, 15; Licence no. 99E0153) produced no archaeological material. At that stage the monument was described as being in a poor state of preservation with trees growing across the entire area. The monument was described by Discovery Programme staff (2006, SMR file) as a cashel (int. diam. 29m E-W; 26m N-S) with a well preserved wall (Wth 2.2m; H 1.8m) at E located on a gentle W-facing slope immediately above a steep slope.
