What is recorded here

In flat pasture, amid rock outcrops and immediately E of a road. A circular area (18m N-S; 21m E-W) enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 4-5m; H 0.4m) which is barely discernible at S. The remains of a hut site (SL038-110002-) in the outer edge of the wall at NW, which were noted in 1985 (SMR (1989) file), are no longer evident. There is a hut site (SL038-110007-) to SW of the cashel. The cashel lies within the SE part of a field system (SL038-110005-). 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).
