In rough heather-covered upland pasture, at the S end of a terrace on the E-facing slope of a high ridge. A subcircular area (18.5m NE-SW; 21m NW-SE) enclosed by a ruined stone wall evident as a low moss-covered stone bank (Wth 2.3m; H 0.5m). The interior slopes gently down to SE. There is a hut site (SL040-012002-) in the NW quadrant and another hut site (SL040-012003-) and a souterrain (SL040-012004-) lie in the SW quadrant. Ruined moss-covered walls radiate from the cashel to E, SSE and SW. A wall extending to N from the N arc of the cashel joins another wall (on an E-W axis) which extends eastwards from an enclosure (SL040-011----).
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).
