A cashel is a type of ringfort built from dry-stone walling rather than earthen banks, and this one is subcircular in plan, measuring roughly 34 metres east to west and 33 metres north to south. The double-faced wall, which would once have stood as a clear perimeter, survives unevenly: the exterior face reaches up to nearly a metre and a half in height on some sections, while the eastern and southern stretches have largely collapsed into a spread of rubble several metres wide.

What makes this site quietly complicated is the layering of activity that has accumulated around and over the original structure. The cashel was already recorded on Ordnance Survey six-inch maps from 1842 and again in 1920, hachured as a clear feature in the landscape. But later agricultural use has left its mark: a field wall running roughly northwest to southeast was built directly over the inner wall-face on the southwestern to northwestern arc, and another field wall and overgrowth obscure the outer face at the northeast. At the centre of the enclosure, the foundations of a house occupy what would once have been the open interior, with several overgrown rubble piles scattered around the undulating ground inside. The cashel sits within a wider multiperiod field system, and the surrounding landscape continues to yield related features: a second cashel lies approximately 38 metres to the northeast, and a further enclosure sits around 107 metres to the southwest, suggesting this was a worked and settled area over a long stretch of time rather than an isolated monument.
