Some 25m NW of a large enclosure (GA056-043001-). When inspected in September 1983 this poorly preserved circular cashel (D 35m) was defined by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 1.8m; H 0.3-0.4m) which was obscured by overgrowth. A field wall cut through the monument at NW and SE. On re-inspection in May 1991 it was noted that as a result of land clearance in the
area field-clearance rubble was dumped against the external face of the E half of the cashel wall.
