Measuring roughly 76 metres north to south and 68 metres east to west, it sits on a gentle south-facing slope in open pastureland, its walls long since collapsed into low grassed-over ridges. What makes it quietly arresting is not the enclosure itself but the accumulation of lives it contains: a house, a children's burial ground, a natural mound, and the ghost of a building that was still roofed when the first Ordnance Survey mapped it in 1838.

The internal archaeology is layered in a way that suggests continuous, overlapping use across centuries. In the north-west quadrant, the foundation lines of a small rectangular structure are still faintly legible beneath the turf. The north-east quadrant tells a different story: a children's burial ground, of the kind known in Ireland as a cillín, a place where unbaptised infants and others excluded from consecrated ground were quietly interred, covers most of that corner and physically overlies the north-east end of the earlier house. The sequence is visible in the ground. A low, flat-topped natural mound of about 15 metres in diameter sits to the north-east of centre, its purpose unclear but its presence adding to the sense that this was a place people kept returning to. Outside the cashel wall to the south-east, old field banks define a rectangular area roughly 25 by 15 metres, and within it sit the remains of another rectangular building, 7 metres by 4, aligned east to west. This is almost certainly what the 1838 OS six-inch map recorded as a standing roofed structure, meaning it was still in some form of use well into the nineteenth century. Two gaps in the south-east of the cashel wall, each just over a metre wide, may represent the original entrance, though which one came first is uncertain. A shallow external fosse, a defensive ditch, is still faintly traceable at the north-west.
