What is recorded here

In the N half of a cashel (SL046-018001-), immediately NW of a possible hut site (SL046-018002-). A partially sod-covered linear stony feature (Wth c. 1m) extends N-S from the internal face of the cashel wall at NNW for 7.6m into the interior. In situ lintels can be detected beneath a thin covering of sod. An opening (0.55m N-S; 0.85m E-W), 3m S of the cashel wall, reveals a stone-built passage (Wth c. 1m; H 0.9m), partially infilled with rubble and possibly extending underneath the cashel wall. A possible creepway is visible in the E side of the passage. 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).
