Today, only a short section of earthen bank and stones remains, having been largely reconstructed into a field boundary. Earlier accounts from the 1940s paint a more complete picture: the site originally consisted of a circular level area enclosed by a collapsed, earth-covered stone wall, with an entrance opening to the southwest.

The site has yielded intriguing discoveries over the years. Just outside the enclosure to the south, observers noted a four-foot square recumbent stone decorated with cupmarks, a form of prehistoric rock art consisting of small, circular depressions carved into the stone surface. During investigations in 1949, a large slab discovered at the centre of the cashel was identified as part of a souterrain, one of the underground passages commonly associated with ringforts that were used for storage or refuge. Local folklore from the 1940s held that a ‘Dane’ was buried within the enclosure, reflecting the common Irish tradition of attributing ancient monuments to Viking invaders.

Perhaps the most remarkable find came in 1966, when destruction work at the site uncovered four silver Viking-era bracelets hidden within the cashel’s wall. These artefacts, documented by archaeologist Joseph Raftery, suggest the site may have been occupied or reused during the Viking period, adding another layer to its complex history. The presence of both the souterrain and the Viking-age treasure indicates this location held significance across multiple periods, from its probable origins as an early medieval defended homestead through to later centuries when it may have served as a hiding place for valuable objects.
