What is recorded here

In pasture, on the southern slope of a ridge. An oval area (dims. 30m N-S; c. 33m E-W) enclosed by a drystone wall (Wth 2.2m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.5m) NW-SW. The wall has been removed SW-NW and stones pushed up against the inside of the surviving wall. The external face of the drystone wall has been repaired in places where it is used as a field boundary. The S half of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. Field boundaries extend out from the cashel wall at N and S. 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).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
