What survives of a stone ringfort here, a cashel, is so reduced that its outline exists only partly as archaeology and partly as later agricultural infrastructure. A cashel is a ringfort built from stone rather than earth and timber, the enclosed circular or subcircular area once serving as a defended farmstead, typically dating to the early medieval period. This one measures roughly 27.5 metres northwest to southeast and 26 metres northeast to southwest, making it a modest but not insignificant enclosure. Yet the monument itself has been worn back to a single course of limestone boulders, traceable only from the north, around the east, and as far as the southwest. For the remainder of its circuit, the line of the cashel has been absorbed into a field boundary built at some later date, the original stonework pressed into service as a convenient ready-made wall.

The site sits on a hill amid an area of rock outcrop, the limestone breaking through the surface in the way characteristic of south Connemara and the broader Galway landscape. That geology almost certainly influenced both where the cashel was built and how it was constructed, the same stone that outcrops underfoot also forming the walls. A gap on the southern side appears to be a modern interruption rather than an original entrance. To the east, an associated field system survives, a reminder that the cashel did not stand in isolation but was part of a working agricultural landscape whose organisation, at least in outline, predates the current pattern of land division.
