What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on an E-facing slope of a ridge. An oval area (int. diam. 21.4m x 20m) enclosed by a ruinous mostly sod-covered stone wall (Wth 1.95m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.35m). A basal course of external wall-facing composed of large limestone slabs is evident, especially along the W arc. There is a possible entrance (Wth 0.9m) at SW. A stone field boundary has been built on top of the cashel wall along the N arc. The interior is stony and uneven. 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).
