The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a ridge. A circular area (diam. c. 30m) raised c. 1-1.7m above the external ground level. The raised interior is revetted by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 1.5-3.5m) which rises in parts to a maximum of 0.75m above the interior. The cashel is densely overgrown with bushes. There is a souterrain (SL036A003002-) in the SW quadrant.
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).
