A cashel is a type of early medieval stone enclosure, essentially a ringfort built from dry-laid stone rather than earthen banks, and this one measures a considerable 38.4 metres in diameter. What makes it quietly strange is how completely the land has absorbed it. The enclosing wall has collapsed, a later field boundary runs directly across it to the east, clearance rubble piled up by generations of farmers obscures its northern arc, and the whole thing sits on a gentle rise in ordinary grazing land, looking, at a casual glance, like nothing more than a slightly uneven stretch of pasture.

Despite its condition, the structure has not entirely disappeared. Traces of the original inner and outer wall-facing are still visible in places, the dressed stone surfaces that once gave the cashel its form poking through the accumulated debris in intermittent stretches. The site was noted by McCaffrey in 1952, who catalogued it as number 57 in what was evidently a broader survey of the region. Roughly 60 metres away lies a separate house site, recorded under its own monument number, which hints that the cashel and whatever domestic or agricultural activity surrounded it were once part of a more populated local world than the empty grazing land now suggests.
