Situated on a S-facing, furze-covered slope above Glencullen village. A ringfort comprising of a circular sunken area (int. diam.23m) enclosed by a drystone wall (Wth 1.5m; H 0.6m) which rises to three courses and an external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.5m). The interior is divided into two compartments by a curving wall. There are furze-covered hut sites in the N half. The entrance (Wth 5m) is in the SE. A series of curving field walls radiate from the W and SE of site (Herity 2001, 22-4). Recent aerial coverage of the area (OS 10:4735) shows a system of irregular fields extending into both the remaining unimproved pasture onthe hill and the improved pasture N of the cashel.
