In pasture, on top of a low rise. A raised circular area (17.8m E-W) defined by tumbled foundations of a drystone wall (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.3m) along the E and S arcs and by a scarp (H 0.5m) along the W and NE arcs with numerous loose stones along its edge. There is a terrace (Wth 2.5m; H 0.5m) at the base of the scarp along the W arc. The remains of a disused field boundary extend to SW from the cashel. There are foundations of a rectangular hut site (SL032-127002-) in the NE quadrant of the interior. Remains of cultivation ridges crossing the interior on a N-S axis are visible in an aerial photograph (IASAP, 3033072-3).
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).
