Named 'Cashelnaclogherny' on the OS 6-inch map. Internal diam. c. 30m NW-SE, c. 26m NE-SW. An oval area enclosed by a ruined stone wall originally c. 1.4m wide. The wall has almost totally disappeared to the N. The NW quadrant of the site is cut off by two straight walls at right angles running from near the centre, to the cashel wall. An 8m gap to the NE is presently spanned by three lintels 0.4m above ground level. These lintels may be the remains of a possible souterrain (DG015-011001-). The site is located in an exposed position just S of a hilltop overlooking the sea to the W, in an area of light pasture and rock outcrop.

Semi-circular shaped area enclosed by the wall footings of a drystone wall which forms a D-shaped enclosure by running off the W facing rock outcrop which forms the E wall of this enclosure. The enclosure is situated in flat pasture on the W facing slope of rising land in upland area with a hilltop cashel (DG015-011-) located 130m to the E. The remains of a curvilinear drystone field wall (DG014-040002-) can be seen enclosing the drystone walled enclosure from S through W to N. This curving field wall appears to be part of a field system contemporaneous with the enclosure.
