On a S-facing slope in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved subcircular cashel (E-W 45.3m, N-S 41.2m) defined by a grassed-over drystone wall, overlain by a field wall at S. A grassed-over stone wall, possibly associated, radiates from the monument at NE. Within the interior and abutting the enclosing element are a number of stone structures: (a) to N, oval in plan (E-W 16.2m, N-S 14m), and (b) to S, triangular in plan (L 10m, Wth 8.8m), are probably internal divisions; while (c) to W, D-shaped (L 7.2m, Wth 5.7m) is probably a house (see GA044-021001-).
