What makes it legible at all is the occasional break in the surface: at the south and south-east, the inner and outer wall-facing of a drystone cashel, a type of stone-built ringfort, remains visible, offering a glimpse of the construction beneath.

The cashel is subcircular in plan, measuring roughly 54.6 metres across its widest axis from west-south-west to east-north-east. A gap of about four metres at the south-east may represent the original entrance, which in Irish cashels of this type was typically narrow and easily controlled. Pressed against the outer wall at this same south-east point is a small rectangular structure, three metres long and one metre wide, aligned east to west. Its proportions and position suggest it was added later, possibly as an animal pen, making use of the cashel wall as one of its sides in the practical, opportunistic way that later farming generations so often adapted earlier monuments. A series of field banks to the north-west add further texture to what was clearly a worked and organised landscape across multiple periods.
