What looks at first like a natural undulation is the collapsed perimeter wall of a cashel, the Irish term for a ringfort built from drystone rather than earthen banks. At roughly 32 metres in diameter, this one was a respectable size, its wall originally broad enough at the base to suggest it was built to impress as much as to protect.

The wall survives only as a grassed-over ruin, its dimensions measured in modest figures: around four and a half metres wide at the base, narrowing to just over a metre at the top, and rising no higher than 0.7 metres on the exterior. Recorded by McCaffrey in 1952, the site was already in poor condition by then, and agricultural activity has continued to erode it. Along the south-eastern to southern arc, a later field wall and a water trough have been built directly over the enclosing element, burying or displacing whatever remained of the original stonework in that section. It is a common fate for structures like this across the Irish countryside, where useful dressed stone rarely sits idle for long and field boundaries tend to follow the most convenient line regardless of what lies beneath.
