Situated on slight N-facing slope in gently undulating upland pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 33m) enclosed by a bank of rubble limestone (Wth 2.8m; int. H 1.1m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 5.1; D 0.6m). The interior side of the bank has been re-built on all sides to form a drystone field wall (T 1m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H over top of bank 0.2m). A NW-SE orientated field wall links to the external side of the bank at ENE and radial field walls extend from the bank at SW, NW and NNE. Original entrance is not recognisable. A possible souterrain (SL005-095002-) is located within the interior. At present there is a a rectangular heap of field clearance rubble (dims. 5m E-W; 2.1m N-S; H 1m) located to S of centre. Two post-medieval structures (SL005-095003- and SL005-095004-) are located on the SE side of the cashel. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
