The largest of 3 stone forts (cashels) in the townland is nearly 800 metres N of a former schoolhouse,m and best approached through a farm 400 metres further on, and up a lane. It has a well-preserved lintelled entrance and unusual external stone stairs. Inside are two other stairways. The wall survives up to 3 metres and encloses an area 25 metres in diameter.
450 metres SW, on a rise, is a smaller ruined cashel with a fine, corbelled free-standing sweathouse just inside the entrance.
