This is a cashel, a type of ringfort built not from earthen banks but from drystone walling, and what remains here is fragmentary enough that you could walk across part of it without registering anything unusual underfoot.

Measuring roughly 27 metres in diameter, the enclosure survives only in part. A stretch of collapsed drystone wall is traceable from the eastern to the south-eastern arc, but from there around to the south-west, the wall has vanished entirely from the surface. The situation is further complicated along the remaining northern section, where a later agricultural field wall was built directly over the original enclosing element, absorbing or obscuring whatever lay beneath it. McCaffrey noted the site in 1952, cataloguing it as number 42 in what was clearly a broader survey of the area. Cashels of this kind were typically built during the early medieval period, serving as enclosed farmsteads for a single family or small kin group, the stone construction reflecting the local geology of the west of Ireland where suitable building material lay ready to hand. What happened to this particular one, and when it fell out of use, the surviving remains cannot say.
