In pasture, on the southern slopes of the Ox Mountains. A circular area (diam. 25m) terraced into the hillside, with the N half up to 1.2m below and the S half up to 0.6m above the external ground level. The interior is defined by the remains of a drystone wall (Wth 1-2m; H 0.2-0.7m) except along the SW arc where only a scarp is evident. A field boundary bisects the cashel on a NW-SE axis. The interior slopes gently down to SE and is crossed by the remains of cultivation ridges. There is a possible souterrain (SL036-069002-) in the N half. The N half of the cashel is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a small semicircular field.
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).
