What is recorded here

On a small promontory, on a N-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. A circular area (diam. c. 35m), densely covered with overgrowth, enclosed by a stone wall (T 3m; int. H 1m; ext. H 2.5m) topped by a field boundary wall. Remains of a field boundary extend up the natural rise to the edge of the cashel at N and S. Access to the interior was not gained due to the overgrowth. 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).
