A cashel is simply a ringfort built from stone rather than earthen banks, common across the limestone landscapes of the west, but the typical form is rounded. This one, measuring 37 metres on each side, holds its right angles with a certain quiet insistence against the semi-karst rough pastureland around it.

The enclosure is defined by a double-faced stone wall, somewhere between 1.1 and 2 metres wide and still standing to a height of over a metre in places along the exterior. Along the western outer wall-face, large upright stone slabs, some reaching 0.5 to 0.7 metres in height, appear at intervals, set on edge rather than laid flat. One of these slabs, positioned near the centre of the western side, seems to block a gap in the wall, though the gap itself is too narrow to have functioned as an entrance in any conventional sense. What it once was, or why it was sealed in this way, is not recorded. The interior slopes gently to the east, is noticeably rocky underfoot, and includes a natural step of exposed bedrock in the north-west quadrant. At some later point, two animal pens were built inside the enclosure, one tucked into the north-east corner and the other set against the northern wall, suggesting the site continued to serve a practical agricultural purpose long after its original use. A later drystone wall was also laid directly on top of the cashel's perimeter, the kind of layering that happens when a structure is simply too solid to remove and becomes incorporated into whatever comes next. The cashel was recorded on the Ordnance Survey 25-inch plan of 1897 and again on the 6-inch edition of 1920, and it sits within a broader multiperiod field system with a related enclosure lying roughly 87 metres to the west.
