The views from the top of the ridge here are stunning. To the west stands the stone row of The Three Fingers (County Cork) and to the east is the sea and a rugged coastline, dotted with little islands.
The site has other bonuses too, for it is several sites in one. The cashel walls stand to a height of around 1.7m and are extremely thick. There is a little guard chamber built into the wall by the entrance, next to which is a large slab covered with cup marks.
Just inside the entrance is a cross pillar - a slender standing stone with an elegantly carved cross near the top.
The centre of the enclosure is occupied by a low square wall, within which is a souterrain. Unfortunately the entrance to this is blocked by a sturdy gate.
