Named 'Cashelnaclogherny' on the OS 6-inch map. Internal diam. c. 30m NW-SE, c. 26m NE-SW. An oval area enclosed by a ruined stone wall originally c. 1.4m wide. The wall has almost totally disappeared to the N. The NW quadrant of the site is cut off by two straight walls at right angles running from near the centre, to the cashel wall. An 8m gap to the NE is presently spanned by three lintels 0.4m above ground level. These lintels may be the remains of a possible souterrain (DG015-011001-). The site is located in an exposed position just S of a hilltop overlooking the sea to the W, in an area of light pasture and rock outcrop.
