On a broad plateau with a slight E-facing slope. An area of c. 25 ha with rock outcrop at its E edge has the remains of large rectangular fields (dims c. 200m x c. 100m) and contains, but probably post-dates cashel (RO028-2060001-) and rath (RO028-206008-). A meandering E-W roadway (RO028-206003-) (Wth 7m; original L c. 450m) defined by earthen banks (Wth 2-3m; 0.2-0.5m) survives in its central portion, S of a modern WNW-ESE field wall, and its S bank truncates the N side of cashel (RO028-206001-). It can be traced further E (L c. 160m) and W (L c. 100m) where it less well-defined. Much of the N part of the fields do not survive, but two house sites (RO028-206014-; RO028-206015-) are recorded there. However, about 50 acres (c. 20 ha) at the S survives, including the settlement cluster (RO028-206007-) at the E edge of the fields, which is probably contemporary with them.
