What is recorded here

On the summit of a broad ridge, immediately E of a disused farmyard. A raised subrectangular area (int. diam. 24.8m N-S; 21.7m E-W) enclosed by a drystone wall (Wth 1.8m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.4m). The wall is reconstructed in places; elsewhere it consists of internal and external stone facing with a rubble core on top of foundations of limestone boulders. The entrance (Wth 1.9m) is at SW. The interior is slightly concave. Two stone field boundaries extend from the cashel to NE and SE. 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).
