What is recorded here

On the top of a rise, in rough grazing. The south-easternmost of two conjoined enclosures (see SL038-039001-). Indicated on the 1941-2 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure but only the S half of this now remains (diam. c. 25m E-W). The interior is enclosed by low remains of a drystone wall (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.1m). There is a hut site (SL038-039004-) and a possible souterrain (SL038-039003-) in the SW quadrant. The cashel is partially overgrown with hawthorn trees. 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).
