Cashel described in 1942-3 as following; 'This is a very small stone fort built on a little knoll of limestone outcrop on a very low hill. In a sense, it might be called a promontory fort as it is approachable easily only from the east side, where there is a gentle slope up to it. On the other sides the approach is precipitous. Very little of the rampart remains and none of the facing stones are visible. The entrance is on the S.E. side and is approximately 8' [2.4m] wide. At this point the slope up the rock to the fort is very gentle. The overall diameter is 60' [18m]. The surrounding field is intersected by ancient fences, some of which are marked by boulders placed along them at intervals' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 240). Outline of monument clearly visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
