The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope. Indicated on the 1913 OS 6-inch map by an arc of hachures N-SE, on the E side of a field boundary. The remains are consistent with this depiction with an arc of sod-covered ruined stone wall (T 1m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m) evident N-SE. The wall has been removed SE-S. There are no visible remains of the wall on the W side of the field boundary. This appears to be the remains of a cashel (int. diam. c. 32m). The interior is waterlogged.
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).
