The site consists of a roughly circular enclosure, measuring approximately 15.3 metres from northeast to southwest and 13 metres from northwest to southeast, defined by the remnants of a dry stone wall. These low orthostats, which once formed the footings of the structure, have been carefully built into the hillface, creating a defensive position that takes full advantage of the dramatic coastal topography.

The entrance to the cashel appears to have been located on the north-northeast side, where two upright stones still stand at about 0.8 metres high, marking what was likely the original gateway with a width of 1.4 metres. Beside this entrance lies a particularly intriguing recumbent stone featuring several holes on its surface. Whilst weathering may account for these depressions, there’s a possibility they could be artificial cup marks, similar to those found on another recumbent stone at the nearby Mevagh graveyard site.

This cashel forms part of a larger archaeological complex, with additional conjoined hut sites located just 30 metres to the northeast. These interconnected structures suggest this was once a thriving settlement, where communities lived, worked, and defended themselves whilst maintaining a strategic watch over the Atlantic approaches. The site’s preservation allows visitors to trace the footprint of these ancient dwellings and imagine life on this windswept clifftop over a thousand years ago.
