In pasture, near the top of a gentle S-facing slope and adjoining the S edges of conjoined cashels (SL020-197007; SL020-197008-). A roughly circular area (int. diam. 21m) defined by the enclosing walls of the adjoining cashels NW-NE, by a stone-faced scarp topped by a stone field boundary NE-S and by a low grass-covered stone spread (Wth 5.1m; H 0.5m) S-NW. The stone facing on the scarp has now collapsed. The interior, which slopes down to E, is stepped due to three low natural terraces. Mentioned by Wood-Martin (1882, 21) as one of three raths in a 'trefoil arrangement'.

In pasture, on a narrow level terrace near the foot of a gentle S-facing slope. A roughly circular area (int. diam. 15m N-S; 17.6m E-W) defined by a stone wall (Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m), only one course high, SSE-NE and elsewhere by a spread of collapsed stones (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m) with traces of external stone facing. The entrance at NE is indicated on the 1913 OS 6-inch map. A small animal pen (int. dims. 3.6m N-S; 2.8m E-W) with collapsed stone walls (Wth 1.4m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.3m) is in the NW quadrant of the interior, abutting the cashel wall. This has an entrance (Wth 2.3m) at E. Immediately to S of the animal pen is a small field clearance cairn (2.2m x 1.5m; H 0.6m). A low natural terrace extends to E and W of the cashel for 17m and 30m respectively. According to local information, stone facing of these terraces, some of which survives, was carried out during land improvements.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
