The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, in a hollow abutting the SW side of a motte and bailey (SL028-012----; SL028-014----). A rectangular graveyard (40m NW-SE; 25m NE-SW) enclosed by a drystone wall. It contains mainly 20th-century and a few 19th-century headstones, including six round-headed grave-markers with curved shoulders. It has recently been extended to the SE. On the 1838 OS 6-inch map it is indicated as a square area (c. 25m N-S; c. 25m E-W) separate from the motte and bailey.
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).
