This circular fortification measures 13 metres across from east to west and 7.5 metres from north to south, its stones rising up to 4 metres on the northern side where the hill’s natural slope creates a more dramatic elevation. The structure may incorporate some natural rock features, though centuries of stone collapse and vegetation growth have made it difficult to determine where nature ends and human construction begins.

The cashel’s interior forms an uneven oval space, surrounded by a low rim that varies between half a metre and a metre in height. The extensive collapse of the walls has obscured any specific architectural details that might indicate construction techniques or periods of use. What remains visible suggests this was once a substantial defensive structure, typical of the ringforts that dot the Irish landscape, likely dating from the early medieval period when such fortifications served as protected homesteads for farming families.

The surrounding landscape offers intriguing hints about the site’s broader context. A series of large, disused stone field boundaries lead up to the cashel, whilst nearby stands a subcircular field enclosed by substantial stone walls. These features could represent early agricultural activity associated with the cashel, though without excavation their exact relationship to the fortification remains uncertain. The site appeared on the third edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map simply marked as ‘Cashel’, preserving its local name whilst its original inhabitants and their stories have long since faded from memory.
