In pasture, near the top of a gentle S-facing slope and adjoining another cashel (SL020-197007-) to W. A subcircular area (int. diam. 15.6m N-S; 18.8m E-W) enclosed by a broad partially grass-covered spread of stones (Wth 7m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.8m) topped by a stone field boundary NNW-S. The stone spread partially faces a natural scarp NE-SSE. Separated at WSW from the adjoining cashel (SL020-197007-) by a narrow fosse (Wth 0.6m). A possible cashel (SL020-197009-) abuts the SW edge. Mentioned by Wood-Martin (1882, 21) as one of three raths in a 'trefoil arrangement'.
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).
