In pasture, on a SE-facing slope and adjacent to a farmyard. A circular area (30m N-S; 28.5 E-W) defined by a stone wall which is incorporated into a field boundary along the S arc. Apart from a section along the NE arc, the wall (Wth 2.7m; H 1.8m) is well preserved and incorporates some large boulders. The wall has been removed at NE where a farm building has been constructed. There are three gaps in the S arc, including a possible entrance (Wth 2.6m). The interior is clear of overgrowth. According to O'Rorke (1878, 230), the nearby village of Glen is sometimes called 'Cashel' after a fort or cashel that stands nearby. Another cashel (SL020-185----) lies c. 120m to W.
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).
