Situated near the top of an E-W ridge named Cahermurphy Hill and commanding good views especially to the south of the county. An almost circular cashel (39m E-W; 32m N-S) defined by a well built drystone wall of small flags (Wth 4.5-5.8m; ext. H 1.6-2.5m; int. H 1.3-2.2m) with a distinct batter. The original wall-facing is evident, highest (1.7m) from S to WSW. A flat outer terrace is evident SE to WSW and from WNW to N. An entrance (Wth 5.2m) at NE may be original. It is partially blocked by a later wall. The interior is uneven and slopes to S. A well-defined hut site (CL048-005001-) abuts the interior of the enclosing wall at N. (Westropp 1911, 129-131)
