In undulating grassland. This poorly preserved subcircular cashel (N-S 30m) is defined by a drystone wall that is reduced to a rubble spread (Wth 2-2.5m; H 0.2-0.3m). The interior is overgrown with trees. In the NW quadrant there is a subrectangular depression (L 6.5m, Wth 3.8m) running NW-SE. On its E side, definite traces of stone-facing are visible. These remains may represent a possible souterrain (GA056-041001-).
