In pasture, with numerous rock outcrops, on a gentle SE-facing slope and c. 60m W of a tributary of the River Moy. A circular area (22m E-W) enclosed by a drystone wall (Wth 1.2m; H 2m) and raised slightly in the E half to compensate for the hillslope. The enclosing wall is evident only as foundations in places while its height has been increased in other places, especially along the W arc, by the addition of field-clearance stones. A rim (Wth 3m) of sod-covered collapsed stones lies immediately outside the cashel wall. The interior is level and largely covered with hawthorn bushes. According to local information, this cashel was formerly used as a burial ground (SL031-003002-). A bullaun stone (SL031-003001-) lies c. 25m to ENE.
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).
