Cashel described in 1943 as following; 'This fort is built on an out-cropping knoll of limestone on the southern slope of Cromwell Hill. It is due south down the slope from the tumulus [LI033-050001-] and is not marked on the O.S. map. At present it consists of a platform of stone, earth and scree. It had a stone rampart which is now very collapsed. Running right across the centre of the platform in a direction ENE-WSW is a very collapsed stone bank. Opposite the western end of this an ancient fence runs into and butts against the edge of the platform. From this point another fence runs northward, but after a very little distance, it turns inward again and runs concentrically round the platform till it disappears into a modern wall which runs north-south on the east side of the fort. The overall diameter of the fort is 132' [40m]' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 176). The outline of the monument is clearly visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
