The National Monuments Service's description
In rocky pasture, on an E-facing slope. An oval area (int. diam 17m x 19.3m) enclosed by collapsed sod-covered walls (T 5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m). There is a possible entrance (Wth 2.1m) at SE. The sloping interior is filled with loose stones and there is a souterrain (SL041-015002-) adjacent to the cashel wall at E. Low sod-covered field boundaries to SE and SW may be associated with 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).
