The National Monuments Service's description
On the southern slopes of the Ox Mountains. A circular area (diam. c. 27m) defined by the remains of a collapsed grass-covered stone wall (Wth c. 3m; int. H 1m) along the W, NE and S arcs and by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 2m; ext. H 1.2m) along the NW arc. The interior is terraced into the hillside, with the N half up to 1m below and the S half up to 1m above the external ground level. The interior is densely covered with overgrowth. Material from agricultural development has been dumped around the outer edge of the cashel.
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).
