What is recorded here

On a ridge, in the Curlew Mountains. A raised circular area (35m N-S; 35m E-W) enclosed by a ruinous stone wall from which most of the stones have been robbed. A section of wall (Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.3m) with internal and external stone facing and a rubble core, is evident along the S arc and may be original. Elsewhere the cashel wall is replaced by a narrow drystone wall which follows the edge of the raised area in places and elsewhere skirts it internally. The entrance (Wth 0.9m) is at S. The interior is uneven and rises towards the centre. 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).
