A cashel is a type of early medieval stone enclosure, essentially a ringfort built from drystone rather than earthwork, and this one measures roughly 15.5 metres across. What makes it quietly interesting is not what survives but what the surviving fragment tells you about how the landscape has worked against it over the centuries.

The wall can still be traced running from the north-north-west around through the east and down to the south-west, but beyond those points the picture becomes murkier. Field-clearance rubble, the accumulated result of farmers shifting loose stone off cultivable ground, has been dumped along much of the circuit, effectively swallowing whatever enclosing wall once continued there. Two separate field boundaries compound the problem further: one cuts through the monument at the north-west and west-south-west, and another both extends from it and cuts across it at the south-east. McCaffrey, writing in 1952, recorded the site and noted it among a numbered catalogue of similar monuments in the area. What his entry captures, and what the ground still shows, is a structure that has been gradually absorbed into the working agricultural landscape around it, its stones repurposed or buried under generations of clearance.
