In a coniferous plantation, on a level area on a NE-facing slope. An exclusion zone of several metres has been left unplanted around the cashel. Indicated on the 1942-3 OS 6-inch map by an arc of hachures SE-SW. A ruined moss-covered stone wall (Wth c. 3m; H 0.5m) survives SE-SW in a shallow arc (C c. 20m). It is engulfed in an impenetrable thicket of blackthorn and brambles and only the SW section could be inspected. This wall may be the remains of a cashel. There is a NW-SE field boundary immediately to N, on the N side of which is a level area (c. 15m E-W) clear of trees which could be the remains of the N half of the cashel.
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).
