The National Monuments Service's description
On the saddle of a ridge. A roughly circular cashel (diam. c. 30m) is visible in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, G 218-17). Only the S half of this remains comprising two stretches of stone wall (Wth 1.75m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 1m). The walls are composed of a rubble core with an inner and outer facing of limestone slabs; some slabs are set at right angles to the wall. A slightly curved field boundary is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map to W 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).
