The National Monuments Service's description
In poor undulating pasture. A circular area (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by the remnants of a low stone wall (Wth 1.05m; H 0.15m). Two field boundaries abut the cashel at SW and another (on a N-S axis) crosses the W half of the interior. The cashel is densely covered with overgrowth.
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).
