In pasture, on a level terrace; the ground slopes down abruptly to E and S and rises gradually to N. A subcircular area (diam. c. 25m) defined by a broad heap of loose stones (Wth 2.5-4.4m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.5m) which in a few places have been haphazardly piled to form a wall. The external face is highest (H 2m) along the N and E arcs. The interior slopes slightly down to SE and is strewn with small rock outcrops and field clearance cairns. A small stone shed is built into the slope immediately to SW. Part of a complex of cashels (SL025-015001-; SL025-015002-; SL025-015004-; SL025-015008-; SL025-015012-), enclosures (SL025-015003-; SL025-015011-), a possible enclosure (SL025-015005-), a rath (SL025-015006-) and a hut site (SL025-015010-).
