Internal diam. 13m E-W, 7.5m N-S. A mound of stones marked 'Cashel' on the 3rd edi-tion of the OS 6-inch map. It is possibly partly natural but this is obscured by stone collapse and overgrowth. The N side rises 4m to the the top but the S side is lower due to the slope of the hill. The top is an oval uneven space enclosed by a low rim .5m to 1m in height, because of the collapse it is difficult to discern specific wall facings. It is is situated on a belt of rough pasture between two bands of bog on a N-facing slope. Running up to the site are a series of disused large stone field boundaries and nearby a subcircular large stone-walled field. It is not possible to say definitely, but these could be early features.
