In pasture, on a break in an E-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 38m) raised 0.8-1m in height above the external ground level. The interior is defined by the grass-covered foundations of a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m) with an external dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 0.5m). Grass-covered foundations of a collapsed outer drystone wall (Wth c. 2m; ext. H 0.3m) are evident along the S, W and N arcs. The interior slopes down gently to E; in the S half is a rectangular area (5m N-S; 8.4m E-W) raised 0.2m above the interior ground level. A quarry cuts into the NE edge of the cashel.
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).
