What is recorded here
One chamber, no door, built on bare rock at the ridge's top. That is Cashel: a closed oval on the Tullyskeherny plateau, wall still standing where sight fails below. Perhaps it was a watchroom, a shrine or a boundary marker; the missing entrance keeps the purpose alive.
Located at the summit of a NE-SW ridge on the Tullyskeherny plateau. Grass-covered oval area (int. dims 23.4m E-W; 18.3m N-S) with rock outcrop which is defined by a revetted drystone-built wall (Wth 2.3-2.7m; max. int. H 1.2m at E; ext. H 0.5m). There is no identifiable original entrance.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
