On a S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. An oval area (diam. 30m NE-SW; 21m NW-SE) terraced into the slope with the N half 2.2m below and the S half up to 2m above the external ground level. Foundations of a drystone wall (Wth 0.6m), topped by a field boundary wall, are evident at the edge of the interior along the S and SE arcs. The cashel is densely overgrown with hawthorn and blackthorn bushes and brambles. Another cashel (SL036-014001-) lies c. 80m to W.
