In the corner of a field, on the N-facing slope of a low ridge. An oval area (27m NW-SE; 22m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 1m) W-ENE and by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 3m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.6m) ESE-W with an original width of c. 1.25m. The cashel is truncated by a field boundary at E. The N half of the interior is cut into the slope and the S half is raised to compensate for the slope though the interior still retains a slope down to NE. The cashel is covered with hazel trees.
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).
