In pasture, on top of a ridge. A raised circular area (19.5m N-S; 20.5m E-W) enclosed by grass-covered foundations of a drystone wall (Wth. 2.2m; int. H 0.3m) NW-SW, with numerous gaps. A stone-built field boundary crosses the W perimeter of the cashel. There is a gap in the wall at NE and an entrance (Wth. 2.8m), revetted by stone on the N side, at E. The interior is raised c. 0.6m above ground level. According to local information, quantities of stone were removed from the enclosing wall in the past. Also according to local information, this cashel was used as a children's burial ground (SL038-078001-).
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).
