On a flat spur, on a S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. A circular area (22m N-S; 20.5m E-W) enclosed by a ruinous drystone wall (Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.8m). There are breaks in the wall at SE, SW and W. The natural slope to SE has been terraced (H 0.5-2m) E-S, c. 3m outside the cashel wall. A second terrace (H 0.9m), revetted by large stones, is evident NNE-SE, 5.2m outside the cashel wall. The interior slopes down to SE. The cashel is overgrown with ferns, brambles and hawthorn bushes. A shed has been built adjacent to the innermost terrace at SE.
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).
