Indicated

In rough rocky pasture, on the E edge of a terrace on the E-facing slope of a stream valley. A circular area (diam. 23m) enclosed by foundations of a stone wall (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.6m) with internal and external kerbing of large stones. The wall is well defined on the S and SE but ruinous at NW. The interior is highest at the centre and slopes gently down towards the enclosing wall and is crossed by a field boundary on ENE-WSW axis. In the interior, to W of centre, a row of contiguous stones extends 3.4m to NW from field boundary. There is a large slab (L 1.1m; H 0.35m; T 0.35m) on the E side of the NW end. A low arc of a sod-covered wall (Wth 0.6m; H 0.2m), built against the inner face of the cashel wall at N, encloses a roughly semicircular area (5m NE-SW; 3m NW-SE). A second similar arc of sod-covered wall (Wth 0.6m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.1m) extends W-NE from the cashel wall at SSW. 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).
