It sits on a west-facing slope among rocky, hazel-covered ground, with open views stretching from the south-west to the north-west. The enclosure is defined by a drystone wall that survives best on its north-eastern arc, where the external face still stands to around 1.8 metres, though the interior has collapsed to little more than 0.3 metres at the same point. Two broad internal stone walls divide the space into three sections, and these may be original features of the cashel rather than later additions.

The antiquarian Thomas Johnson Westropp recorded the site in 1905, describing it as a caher sitting on a bold crag, with a nearby hut site to the west and traces of further old walling around it. A caher is simply the Irish term for this kind of stone-walled enclosure, used interchangeably with cashel in the literature. By 1915 the site was already marked on Ordnance Survey mapping, suggesting it had been a recognised feature of the landscape for some time. The outer wall-face remains visible from the south around to the north-west, where it still stands to 1.8 metres in places and measures roughly 0.65 metres in width. The interior, however, is densely overgrown with hazel scrub, and the western and north-western sections are lower-lying and choked with large stones. A wide gap on the north-east, around eight metres across, is modern in origin, with piles of timber and stone heaped to either side of it, the marks of relatively recent disturbance rather than ancient collapse.
