The National Monuments Service's description
In rough upland grazing, at the base of a NE-facing limestone escarpment in the foothills of the Bricklieve Mountains. A circular area (int. diam. 25m) enclosed by a ruined sod-covered stone wall (Wth 2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.45m) best preserved along the W half where it straddles gently rising ground. The wall is constructed mainly of rubble with some large slabs also evident. Some sod-covered stones were noted in the interior. The cashel is surrounded by boggy ground. Other cashels (SL040-157---; SL040-15801-; SL040-15901-) lie c. 80m to SSE, c. 200m to SE and c. 260m to SSE respectively.
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).
