The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, near the top of a ridge overlooking Lough Gara. A circular area (int. diam. 24m N-S; 22.4m E-W) defined by a sod-covered flat-topped stone bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.5m), removed along the N arc. A stone wall skirts the cashel along the E arc. The interior is uneven and slopes down to S. A limekiln was indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map a short distance outside the cashel wall at SSW.
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).
