The site in question is a cashel, the Irish term for a ringfort built from stone rather than earthen banks, and at roughly 32 metres in diameter it would once have enclosed a reasonably substantial farmstead. What makes it quietly peculiar is that it does not stand alone: it is conjoined along its south-western arc to a second cashel, the pair forming a linked enclosure whose original arrangement and purpose are now difficult to read.

By the time an aerial photograph was taken in 1969, the structure had already deteriorated considerably, appearing from above as a loose scattering of stones across an undulating terrace. The Ordnance Survey's 25-inch map had recorded it in similar terms, marking the area simply as loose stones rather than as a coherent monument. The site sits in a slight hollow in the landscape, which may partly explain its poor state of preservation; reclamation of the surrounding land for agriculture over the generations would have made loose dressed stone an attractive resource for field walls and farmyard construction. The eastern aspect remains relatively open, offering the kind of visibility that would have mattered to whoever first chose the location.
