Cashel described in 1943 as following; 'This monument is situated on the top of a natural limestone rock-knoll. It consists of a circular space enclosed by two concentric banks between which there is a fosse. The banks seem to be composed of small stones with a mixture of earth and gravel. The entrance is on the south-west side. Here there is a break in each bank and a causeway leads across the rock cut fosse. In the south-east quadrant of the interior there is a semi-circular wall, which cuts off a space between it and the rampart. This may have been a hut site. Its greatest dimension is 45' [14m] approximately. The overall diameter of the fort is 150' [46m]' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 175). Outline of the monument is clearly visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
