Situated on a NE-facing slope of rising ground in a mountainous area with a stream to the W. A circular area (diam. 23.3m E-W) enclosed by a drystone wall sitting on top of an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5-2.3m; H 2m) and a waterlogged external fosse (Wth 3m) with a stone-lined causewayed entrance (Wth 2m) at S. A possible field wall extends from the entrance towards a nearby cashel (TN037-021) to the SE. This is a well-preserved cashel with an impressive causewayed entrance and wall-footings of a possible circular hut site in the N sector of the interior. A stream intersects the fosse at W on a NW-SE axis.
