On a SW-facing slope of a plateau. Subcircular scrub-covered area (dims 43.7m N-S; 40.7m E-W) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank (Wth 4-7m; int. H 0.25m S-W (downslope) to 0.8m generally; ext. H 0.5m at E to 1.5m generally) separated by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 5.7-7m; Wth of base 1.1-2.6m; D 0.4-0.9m) from an outer bank (Wth 3.5-4m; ext. H 0.25-0.55m) which survives ESE-W-NNW. There is an entrance through the inner (Wth 2.7) and outer (Wth 3m) banks and a causeway (Wth 5.5m) at S. An old field bank (Wth 2.3m; H 0.25m; L 23m) abuts the outer bank at NNW (max. ext. dims 58m N-S; 55m E-W). Cashel (RO041-088001-) is c. 160m to the NNW.
