The National Monuments Service's description
In rough upland pasture, on a S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains and adjacent to a cashel (SL031-017----). A low heather and scrub-covered rise (L c. 15m), from which an occasional stone protrudes, extends from the cashel wall at SE. From there a densely overgrown stone-faced scarp (H 1m) extends eastwards along a natural break in slope for c. 40m until it abuts a N-S property boundary wall. Due to a forest plantation it was not possible to determine if the scarp extends further to the E. Remnants of an E-W wall can also be traced c. 20m downslope to S. A line of tall ferns, extending a short distance to SW from the cashel wall at W, may also indicate the remains of a wall. Immediately to W of the cashel is a large rectangular field which is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map.
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).
