What is recorded here

On the flat summit of a drumlin ridge, with panoramic views. An oval area (11.2m E-W; 9.8m N-S) enclosed by a flat-topped sod-covered stone wall (T 2.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.8m). Portions of the wall at E and SE have been partially removed; remains of an inner and outer facing of boulders is evident at SE. The interior is level. The cashel is indicated on the 1942-3 OS 6-inch map by an arc of hachures SW-NW. 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).
