In pasture, on a SE-facing slope with a steep natural drop to W and SW. A circular area (diam. c. 32m) enclosed by the remains of a stone wall (int. H c. 1m; T 2.2-6m) of large limestone stones and boulders with a rubble and earth core. The internal face of the wall is topped by a recent field boundary. A low earthen bank (Wth 2-3m; H c. 0.2m) curves across the S half of the interior. There is a possible souterrain (SL038-002002-) in the NW quadrant. The interior is cut into the hillslope with the S half raised c. 1m to compensate for the slope. Recorded in 1836 as 'Caiseal Loga, i.e. Lughaidh's stone fort' (OSNB vol. 1, 17).
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).
