The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, on a S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. An oval area (22.5m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by a ruinous drystone wall (Wth 2.2m; H c. 0.3m). There are several breaks in the wall along the N arc and one at SW. A field boundary wall crosses the W half of the interior on a N-S axis; a right angled corner of another field boundary wall truncates the cashel wall and encroaches slightly into interior in the NE quadrant. The interior is heavily poached by cattle and there is a rock outcrop in the centre.
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).
