A cashel is a type of ringfort built from stone rather than earthen banks, and this one measures roughly 16.5 metres north to south and 19 metres east to west, making it a modest but coherent enclosure.

What makes the site quietly legible even in its ruined state is the southern side, where no walling survives at all. There, the bedrock itself forms a sharp natural drop of around two metres to the outside, rendering a constructed wall unnecessary. Whoever built this enclosure recognised that the geology was doing the defensive work for them. A gap survives to the south-east, roughly 3.5 metres wide, most likely the original entrance. Elsewhere the stone wall has collapsed, leaving a rubble line that traces the original circuit through the pasture and around the outcrops.
