In 1836 'several old forts' were recorded in the townland of Doon (OSNB vol. 1, 422). One of these is probably the cashel (SL044-059001-) but the others remain unlocated and it is possible that they are in that part of the townland on OS 6-inch map 46. 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).
