In wet pasture, on a slight E-facing slope. Fragmentary remains of a rectangular structure (int. 11.5m E-W; 3.8m N-S) with walls (T 0.8m) of uncoursed mortared sandstone. The external corners have sandstone quoins, the best of which are at the SW corner where the lowest quoin rests on a large boulder (H 0.6m). There is a break in the N wall (L 2.6m) and sections (L c. 2m) of the E and W walls are reduced to 1m in height, possibly indicating the position of window opes. This structure is named 'Templecaleen' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, but the name is transferred on the 1914 OS 6-inch map to an adjacent church site (SL041-048001-) 50m to the N. There is a holy well (SL041-047----) 150m to the N.
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).
