What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on elevated ground overlooking the eastern shores of Lough Gara. The cashel is not visible at ground level but the area is densely overgrown in parts and difficult to inspect. A curve in the field boundary wall (Wth 1.5m; H 1.2m) respects or incorporates the E arc of the cashel. This section of drystone walling is more substantial than the surrounding field walls. Indicated as an embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and as an arc of field boundary NE-SE on the 1914 OS 6-inch map.
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).
