By the time anyone formally recorded it, in March 1992, the structure was already in a poor way. A double-faced drystone wall, meaning one built with dressed stone faces on both its inner and outer sides, survived in fragments around the northern and eastern arc, but for much of its circuit it had long since collapsed into a grassed-over ridge of rubble and scattered boulders. A considerable portion of the western arc had vanished from the surface entirely.

The site was complicated further by later agricultural activity. A field wall had been laid directly over the cashel wall along part of its eastern stretch, and another wall, running east to west at about 15 metres in length, abutted it from the east. A short distance to the south, the remains of a roughly parallel collapsed wall of around 20 metres were also visible beneath the grass, suggesting a landscape that had been reworked and subdivided over generations, each phase gradually obscuring what came before. The cashel itself, already fragmentary in 1992, appears to have since disappeared almost completely; aerial photography taken after that inspection indicates the monument has been levelled.
