In pasture, located on a terrace on a SW-facing slope, with good views SE–SW.
Circular area (35m E–W; 36.8m N–S) defined by a collapsed limestone wall (Wth 2.6-3m; H 0.2m). The wall is evident as a low, moss-covered stony rise with in situ facing stones visible in parts on the inner face.
The N third of the interior is higher, sloping markedly down from there towards the centre then levelling out. The original entrance may have been at the E where a low section (Wth 4-5m) of the enclosing wall is evident, facing a continuation of the natural terrace to E.
A ruined wall (Wth 1m; H 0.3m) extends through the centre of the interior from the cashel wall at E for 16m to WNW ending 2m short of a horseshoe-shaped stone structure/possible hut site (MA082-045001-) located in the NW quadrant.
Hawthorn, hazel and blackthorn scrub engulf the W third of the cashel interior. A field wall/townland boundary crosses the W edge of the cashel on a roughly N–S axis.
