The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a narrow E-facing slope and adjacent to a farmyard. Indicated as a small circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. Visible as a circular enclosure in an aerial photograph (CUCAP, AUI 68) taken 1968, with possible cultivation ridges in the W half of the interior. The enclosing wall (Wth 1m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.2m) is now only evident along the E and S arcs where it is incorporated into a field boundary. Spoil has been dumped into the N half of the interior. Another cashel (SL040-124----) lies c. 100m to SSE.
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).
