What is recorded here

In rough grazing, on a steep E-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. A circular area (18m N-S; 19.5m E-W) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (Wth 2m; H 0.4m). The cashel is terraced into the slope, with the W half 0.8m below and the E half 1.8m above the external ground level. The interior retains a slope down to E and is crossed by the remains of cultivation ridges. 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).
