In pasture, on nearly level ground, on an E-facing slope of a rise. A circular area (33m E-W) enclosed by a collapsed stone wall (max. Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.8m) except along the N and NW arcs. A berm (Wth 2.6m) separates the enclosing wall from the external fosse (Wth 5.8m; int. D 1.1m; ext. D 0.8m). A short section of the outer earthen bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 0.6m) is evident outside the fosse along the N arc. The cashel is overgrown with bushes. An enclosure (SL032-076----) lies c. 50m to NW. 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).
