In rocky pasture, on a low rise and on the S slopes of the Ox Mountains. A roughly circular area (18m N-S; 17.5m E-W) encompassing the top of a low rocky rise and defined by a ring of intermittent sod-covered stones (H 0.4m), possibly the remains of an internal and external kerb of a wall (Wth c. 2m). The interior is slightly domed with an uneven surface from which stones protrude. Remnants of a field boundary wall skirt the E arc. Part of a complex of cashels (SL025-015001-; SL025-015002-; SL025-015004-; SL025-015007-; SL025-015008-; SL025-015012-), an enclosure (SL025-015011-), a possible enclosure (SL025-015005-), a rath (SL025-015006-) and a hut site (SL025-015010-). 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).
