The cashel forms an almost circular enclosure, measuring roughly 34 metres east to west and 28 metres north to south, with substantial stone walls that once stood between 2.8 and 3.15 metres thick. Though time has taken its toll on much of the structure, impressive sections of both the inner and outer wall faces remain visible, reaching heights of up to 1.6 metres; the outer face is best preserved in the northwest quadrant, whilst the inner face survives most intact along the southern half.

The entrance to the fort lies just south of east, marked by a 2.1 metre wide gap in the wall. Two standing stones, positioned transversely about a metre beyond the outer wall edge and set 2.7 metres apart, flank this ancient doorway. Inside, the ground rises dramatically, creating a platform effect that reaches up to 2 metres high in places, situated between 2 and 5 metres from the wall’s inner edge. At the heart of this raised area, the western half of what appears to be an internal structure survives; a low, stone-faced scarp approximately 12 metres in diameter that may have once served as a dwelling or storage space.

The interior terrain remains uneven and overgrown with vegetation, though protruding stones hint at additional structures buried beneath. Ruined field walls extend from the fort’s outer face, evidence of the agricultural landscape that once surrounded this defensive settlement. The location was strategically chosen, with the land dropping away sharply to the west and markedly to the south, creating natural defences that complement the massive stone walls. Though forest now obscures the view, the fort originally commanded extensive vistas across the northern and western approaches, allowing its inhabitants to monitor movement across both land and sea.
