Internal diam. c. 20m. A very ruined cashel wall survives on a rocky platform. It originally enclosed a roughly circular area. The outer faces of some large stones up to c. 0.5m in height are visible on the W. From NW to NE the wall has been almost completely turfed over. It survives to a height of c. 1.5m on the NE. Quarrying of the S end of the platform seems to account for the absence of the wall here. The site on a grass-covered rocky knoll overlooks low-lying wet, grazing land to the S and drier land to the N.
