In rocky pasture, on the summit and towards the N end of a steep-sided ridge. A circular area (diam. 18m) defined by a moss-covered collapsed stone wall (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.65m). Remnants of internal and external facing of limestone blocks, laid in rough courses with rubble limestone fill, were noted NW-NE. The interior, which is divided by a N-S drystone wall to W of centre, is undulating and densely covered with overgrowth on the W side of the dividing wall. This cashel is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, perhaps mistakenly, as a much larger enclosure (diam. c. 50m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
