In rocky pasture, on a W-facing slope of the Bricklieve Mountains. An oval area (int. diam. 27m N-S; 20.7m E-W) enclosed by a ruinous stone wall (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.75m). The wall is constructed of large limestone slabs placed on their sides. There is a possible entrance (Wth 1.2m) at W. The interior is mostly level; sod-covered stones may be the remains of a ruined internal structure. Field walls (SL040-082002-) lie to N and S of the cashel. A passage tomb (SL040-097001-) and two short cists (SL040-097002-) lie c. 80m to E.
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).
