Internal dimension 19m. 'Cashelbane' consists of a roughly square area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall. The corners of the enclosure are rounded and there is a slight exter-nal convexity to the sides. Wall facing on the ENE shows the original wall width to have been 2.35m. It now survives up to .5m in height. From the corner of the NNW and ENE walls an associated wall runs to the E for 18m then turns SSE for a distance of 21.5m towards the sea. The site is located in an area of rough grazing and rock outcrop on a ridge of Ros-scorcan Head. There is a sharp drop to the sea to S and SE.
