Situated in level wet upland pasture at the S base of Benbulbin. Oval-shaped area (dims. 31m N-S; 25m E-W) enclosed by a collapsed rubble drystone field wall (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.1m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The facing, of un-coursed random rubble, survives best on the external side of the wall at SW and is very patchy and inconsistent elsewhere. The wall appears to have been entirely rebuilt as part of a field wall NNW-NE (Wth 1.2m; H 1.4). A roughly rectangular sheep pen (dims. 5m NE-SW; 2m NW-SE) extends into the interior at NW. Two other sheep pens have been built against the external face of the cashel wall at SSE. The original entrance is not recognisable. The SE quadrant of the interior is enclosed by a gently curving collapsed drystone wall (Wth 3.4m; H 0.4) that links to the interior of the cashel wall at ENE and at S. A collapsed drystone wall (Wth 3.1m; H 0.3) extends W from the internal side of the cashel wall at NE and ends to N of centre.
