On a knoll in rolling grassland. Oval cashel (E-W c. 35m, N-S c. 20m), in fair condition, defined by two degraded walls and an intervening fosse. No visible surface trace of the fosse or outer wall survive at S. A field wall overlies the outer wall from NW to NNE. A gap (Wth 2.75m) at S may be original. Within the interior are a souterrain (GA044-020001-) and five houses (see GA044-020002- to GA044-020006-).
